| J.B. Blake's Confederate $5 | J.B.
Blake was my mother's maternal grandfather. This is the story of
a Confederate $5 note he gave her when she was a little girl. |
| Pawpaws Lamp | This is an old kerosine lamp that belonged to my paternal grandfather, Oakley Vincent. |
| Vincent Butter Mold | We
had milk cows before I started grade school. That meant all the
fresh whole milk and butter we could consume. When mother
finished churching butter, she would press all the whey from it then
mold it into cakes. This is the butter mold she used. |
