Yes, it was spinning.
Brent Glass
At ten years old?
Flossie Moore Durham
Yes. That’s all I could have done. I weren’t but ten years old. All the little ones, they’d put them to spinning, you see, or something like that. But now that weren’t a bad life. We had a real good life over there on the hill. Every house was filled, and the people was all friendly and they was all nice. And Mr. Luther Bynum was looking after it, and he wouldn’t have anybody over there that drank. Anybody got drinking, they left there right now. Didn’t have no drinking and cutting up over there. Things was kept quiet and nice. And it was a good place over there to live.
