Mary Frederickson
So you went to work right when your family came into Bynum.
Flossie Moore Durham
Yes, went to work when I was ten years old. And so the mill run on then. The mill was owned by the Odells in Concord. But the houses all back over there then were in good shape; now they’re really bad. They’ve been getting bad.
Mary Frederickson
Did your family move into one of the houses over on the hill?
Flossie Moore Durham
Yes, sure did. Moved into one of the houses over there on the hill. And we lived there till I was grown and married.
Mary Frederickson
Who lived there with you? Did all of your brothers and sisters come?
Flossie Moore Durham
All of them lived [there] till my oldest brother married while I was there. He was gone. And then the next brother was off at school. So that’s the way it went all the way down the line till they was all grown. Now they’ve all gone but I’ve got one sister and myself a-living; that’s all. There were four boys and four girls.
