    Notes:

    *
    Troy Washington Moose and Italy Rome Acree met in early childhood,
    attended the same school, were married February 13, 1915.

    In the document that Thelma compiled it lists Italy as chr'nd in 1953(I
    don't know what this means).)

    We were proud of all of our children and it was a struggle to clotheand
    feed them, but we did it with the Good Lord's help, for we seldom ever
    had sick children.

    Frances had bronchial pneumonia at the age of eight. She just knewthat
    if her Granny was there she would be better, and she did too. HerGranny
    Moose told all the neighbors to go home and she would look after her.
    When Nell was nine years old she had dropsical swelling caused by
    malaria. When Ted was thirteen years old he had acute appendices andhad
    his appendix removed. Those were the only ones we had doctors tovisit.

    Mom would like to talk of a few trips she has made.

    On August 9, 1959, I went with Johnny, Frances, Allan, Alton and Glento
    Abilene, Texas to a family reunion on Johnnies family. I met some nice
    people. Troy Lynn had married Ann Mercer the night before. Ann's
    daughter Terry went with us also. After a nice visit and huge dinner,we
    went to Leaky, Texas. Then we went to visit Johnnies brother and wife,
    Jim and Martha. Then to Dewey's house to visit him and Ann. We went to
    visit my sister Essie and Marcie who lived at Franctis, Texas. Theyhad
    just taken off to visit with Troy and Ted while I was gone. We cameback
    to Johnnies on August 1, 1959.
    In January of 1959, Troy and I had ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT PEOPLE
    COME TO VISIT US.
    January 28, 1959, Leonard left for Austin, Texas.
    February 14, 1959, we moved back in our house at 413 E. Bolt.

    redundancies.


    PLACES WE HAVE LIVED

    After being married we went to Itasca, Texas to Troy's parents home.We
    lived with them for two months, we were employed by a textile mill.Troy
    was a clean-up man at a pay of $1.25 per day. I got $.50 per day as a
    trainee on a machine getting cotton ready for spinning.

    Then we moved into a boarding house, which cost us six dollars perweek,
    but when autumn came we moved back to Hillsboro to pick cotton, work
    which we both liked to do. We could average 700 pounds of cotton perday
    (that was together) which paid us $2.80 a day. We stayed with myfamily
    until we went to Bynum to another cotton farm. On March 15, 1916 our
    first baby (Francis Louise) was born.

    1918

    In 1918 we moved to Turkey, Texas on Uncle Wade Josey's farm. Oursecond
    baby (Melba Cleo) was born, on March 4, 1918. We farmed ten acres of
    cotton and two acres of tomatoes. We harvested the tomatoes and movedon
    July 1, 1918 to Lynnville, Kentucky. We finished harvesting a cropthat
    Daddy's renter had left. We had Eunice (my sister) and Frank gatherour
    cotton which brought $.40 a pound which they sold and sent to us.

    1919

    In 1919 we moved about five miles from Daddy and farmed cotton and
    tobacco and got good prices. On December 21 another girl (Jackie Nell)
    was born to us, we were proud of our girls.

    1920

    In 1920 we tried farming again, but failed, we lost all our teams and
    tools, we left there broke and went to pick cotton at Hickman,Kentucky.
    Share croppers there offered us their half of their cotton to gatherit
    for them, but we couldn't do it for cotton had dropped to $.06, so in
    December 1920 we headed back to Texas to Troy's daddy's atJacksonville,
    Texas.

    1921

    We lived with them until June 1921 then we moved to John Stallingsfarm
    where we raised tomatoes and cotton. Jeanette Marie was born onOctober
    21. Troy got work sawing logs for a sawmill which paid him $2.00 a day.

    1922-1923

    We moved to Summerfield and continued to cut logs in 1922. The log
    haulers set fire to our house and we lost everything we owned, so we
    found another house for $5.00 per month and we lived in it two months,
    then the saw mill moved to Neches where he cut logs in 1923.

    1924

    We rented a farm in Turkey, Texas next, and planted cotton andtomatoes.
    Black-rot got the tomatoes and wet weather drowned the cotton, but one
    good thing happened, our first son (Troy William) was born on March11,
    1924. We were proud of him.

    While there Troy had a fight with our landlord, he was Curt Bolton. He
    turned his cattle into our cotton patch which Troy didn't like so he
    penned them up to get damages which caused a fight between Curt andAbe
    Bolton and Troy. Curt struck at Troy with an iron bar and he ducked
    under and Troy stuck a knife in his back, then the other tried to take
    the knife but Troy closed the knife on his hand. It wound up in court.
    Troy was booked for attempted murder but was acquitted and the othermen
    had to pay court costs.

    On March 11, 1925 we moved to Troup, Texas on Johnnie Johnson's farm
