Gladys,Daddy,Fred and J.D.Daddy said they were so poor when in bed at night they could look up and see the stars,look down and see the chickens under the house..He was the baby boy of the family,Ruby his sister was the baby of the group.He had 3 other sisters,Myrtle,Gertrude and Eula.Once he told me how he felt when at school in his lunch pail all he had was sorghum syrup and cold cornbread and the other kids had sandwiches using sliced bread.On Christmas they got an orange and apple.He would save the peelings for later.A habit I have.They all got one pair of shoes each year and if they wore out they went barefooted.
