Louisiana: ! remember when I was a teen age boy and Lived 10 miles from market which was at Clinton. Louisiana. We went to market twice a year in an ox wagon We would leave before daybreak and get back late at night. I plowed the oxen during the week and let them graze on Saturdays and Sundays When we find them we went to churcli In the ox wagon Otherwise, we tipd bur shoes together and walked three miles When we got there we brushed the dirt from our shoes with a pine brush, put them on. Usually the women went in and the men stayed outside until the preacher called service Then they all went in. Negroes and whites attended this same church there was also another church down the road. Each had service once a month, so that gave us a chance to attend each of them. _ ‘ • • • From Joe Vlre, Montlcello, Ken tucky: Let s turn back memory’s I pages 70-odd years . the family i> gathered around the flreside . . . 1 Father takes the Bible and reads the 23 Psalm and then on bended knees thanks Our Heavenly Father foi all the blessings of life and j asks for his care and keeping through the shades of night.
