All laundry was performed on a rub board and a flat iron until 1933 when a gasoline maytag washing machine was purchased. This machine was used to do
the laundry for three families (Ruby, Grace and for the home).
The first replacement for the flat iron was a gas heated iron.
Electricty was not available in the farm community until 1945.
Life was very rough, your food was grown from gardens and meat was obtained
from the animals that was raised for that purpose.
Eva Herren (Exie's sister) told me that when Exie was young, that they had to walk to school and that they did not go to school every school day. They
went to school only when they could. They worked in the fields.
Part of a year Exie stayed with an uncle in Eldridge, AL., so she could go to school.
