sheriff’s office, David Bowers
was at Summer's Drive-In sta

put him in the car and took him
to Willingham Brothers Garage,
also on the cut-off, where Olin
\V I’iingham allegedly joined in the
beating. Bowers was severely,
though not critically injured. He
was taken to the local hospital

From Martha Dalton, Bond, Ken
tucky: I remember years ago
when I was a kid we always kept
sheep. I would help my mother
shear them—after picking off the
burrs. We would wash the wool
and send it off to have cloth made
from it.
Later, we would make blankets
and underclothes and my mother
would card some of the wool and
spin it and knit all of our stock
ings as well as father’s soeks.
We didn’t have coal to burn in
those days, so we all went with
our father to cut and saw firewood
for the stove and fireplace. We
would carry the wood far into the
night on woodcutting days.
At night, we would sit around the
Are. Father raised cotton and
every night we would place some
of it in front of the fire. After it
was warm, mother and the chil
dren would pick out the seeds and
mother would then card the cot
ton and pad quilts with it.
Mother made her own soap. We
also raised geese and I often
helped mother get them into the
barn and pick them and make
feather beds and pillows.
I still have my old wood stove
which I wouIdnH trade for any
electric model.
