When I asked her about her childhood she recalled looking after her younger siblings a lot and helping her Mom with chores around the house like washing clothes and preparing food. When she was about 8 she was put in charge of the chickens and got to keep some of the money from the sale of the eggs. She would save it up and once a month walk all the way into town where she would go to the General store to look for something to buy that she could share with her 2 favorite sisters who were a few years younger than her. She said the store sold everything and was the only place in town that you could buy chocolate…”
