Stories told by Betty Lois Humphreys Bible:
"Mama [Beatrice (Brooks) Humphreys] liked to sing the old songs, hymns mostly. Every night she would sit with all of us kids around her and she'd sing. When it was time for bed, she would make us all kneel down for prayers. My sister Margaret hated to kneel down for prayers. She used to say, "Mama can make me kneel down, but she can't make me close my eyes! You know, I think Margaret might have turned out to be the most religious of us all... and after the way she hated prayer time at home."

"We were always poor, and there were a lot of us. Mama would put on her apron and head out in the mornings. When she came home, she'd have her apron full of greens and nuts that she'd gathered up. I think we would have gone hungry a lot if she hadn't done that.
~♡~
"My Mama was always a soft spoken woman, but I remember one time when she was loud! Daddy (Lawrence Humphreys) was gone off working some job and it was late at night. Mama and us kids were home alone. There was a noise out front, and we all thought somebody was about to come in on us. Mama grabbed up the gun and pointed it at the front door and hollered "I'll shoot you! Don't you come in here, I'll shoot!" When nothing happened and the noise kept happening, someone finally got brave enough to look out a window. It was the old hog, who had gotten out. He had spilled the coal bucket and was rooting it around on the porch! When Daddy came home and we told him about it, he said "Beetis, (what he called Beatrice) if you had shot that hog now, in the summertime, we'd have all starved this winter!"

"I remember one time, I think I was in the fifth grade... I wrote a note to some little ol' boy because I liked him. The teacher got ahold of it first, though and she hung that note up on the board for everyone to read. When I got home, Mama made me do a lot of work. She kept saying things like, "This is what housekeeping is all about" and "if you want to find you a feller and start housekeeping then you'd better help out." Finally, I asked, "Mama, did somebody tell you that I wrote that little letter?" and she said, "Yes, and I want to get you ready for what married life really is." and she worked my hind-end off! I mean, she really did, now! Then she just prayed for me before she put me to bed and I was alright.
