Lurleen Rushing remembers the resourcefulness of people when she was a child. |
A.L. Smith was the drugstore where we went and that was on the corner where Henry's Florist is now. Earlier that that there had been a little bread shop there. You know, when you have a lot of dust and everything it's easy to have a fire. It caught on fire and I remember that the little motor in the shop that they used to make the bread was not too managed and my grandfather bought if for my father. My father took it home and made a hay baler out of it. It was something that the neighborhood would come and look at because he was able to use that motor. It would have been the gasoline engine that was driving it. You didn't have to have the horses that would walk around to bale the hay. |
