As I sat on the porch watching everyone leave I looked out over the fields and started thinking on how it all began. I closed my eyes and it all came to me.
My name is Sara Crow, I Was born May 19, 1922 to Sam and Mary Crow. Mom said they were so glad when I was born. They had two babies that didn't make it before me. We had the old family farm on 175 acres with a big four bedroom house, three old barns six cows, twenty sheep, a lot of chickens, plus four pigs. When Grandpa died in 1923 the farm went to dad. He had two brothers and the rest of grandpa's animals were split between them. Uncle Ray and Uncle Roy were twins and had their own farms and so they didn't get the farm. My uncles told dad they would each leave him two cows and a bull. This way he had ten cows and two bulls and would be able to breed and add to the herd.
Each year at planting or harvest time each of the brothers would help do each farm. They started with dads, it was spring and the year 1925, I was three. It had been a long cold winter in Boone County Tennessee. Our fields were done and the men were working on Uncle Ray's farm. All the ladies were up at the house working on lunch when Uncle Roy came running to the house calling mom and Aunt Carol. They took mom over to the barn and she started crying, Aunt Carol helped her into the house. Uncle Ray left to get the sheriff and doctor. A team of horses were being hitched to a wagon and something scared them and they turned and ran, before they could be stopped they ran over my dad and killed him. Uncle Roy came back with the sheriff, doctor and pastor. All the kids had to go into the cow barn and stay there. I was in the house with mom. Soon and big black buggy came, the man talked to my uncles and then he took dad away.
Aunt Kate helped mom fix her black dress, she made me one from Ann's old dress that was too small for her. Two days later we went to church at night. There was a big pine box up at the front of the church. The top was closed and people were going up to it and would put their hands on it and cry or pray. Uncle Roy sat me on his knee and said daddy was in the box waiting for God to come and take him to Heaven. Everyone was saying good-by to dad and praying for a safe trip home with God. He told me that the horses didn't mean to kill daddy and someday God will tell us why, but he must have needed daddy in Heaven to help Him. Then he asked if I wanted to go and say good-by and pray for daddy, yes I did if he would go with me. So he held me and we went up front. I put my hand on daddy's box and told him I loved him and will miss him always, then I asked God to take good care of him. I said good-by daddy and Uncle Ray put me down I ran to mom and didn't know I was crying until she wiped my face. I stayed with her until it was time to leave. Aunt Katy stayed with us that night.
The next morning Uncle Roy picked us up and took us back to church. Uncle Ray's family and a lot of people were there. Pastor had a service and said a lot of nice things about daddy, then we all prayed for him. The bells rang six times then we all stood up, the Pastor led us out the side door to the cemetery. We walked to where the family plot was and there was a big hole. We were told were to sit and then it was quiet, then the bells started to ring again and the men were bringing the pine box to the hole. They started to put daddy in the hole and I started to yell. Uncle Ray picked me up and said God was taking him home not to a hole. God came last night and took your dad to Heaven. Remember how we all prayed and asked Him to take daddy home I said yes, well this is only a place for the box so when you want to talk to him you can come here, but daddy was in Heaven right now so it is ok for the box to go in the hole. Are you ok now? Yes thank you. I was okay the rest of the time. We all went back into the church and we had lunch then Uncle Roy took mom and me home Aunt Katy stayed with us a few days helping mom. Then she went home and was in and out for three weeks. Mom was not feeling well and I was scared she was leaving me too. Daddy died April 19th and I didn't want mom to go too.
One day Aunt Katy was visiting and mom got bad she told me to ring our farm bell till someone came. I started ringing and soon Miss Pepper came running, she went right to mom but told me to keep ringing. Soon Mrs. Anderson and her son Willis came in their buggy. I could stop now, they went for the doctor and my aunts. I was to sit on the swing till they were back. The doctor got there first he went in to see mom, then my aunts came. All I could hear was mom moaning, soon my uncles were there too. I asked Uncle Ray if mom was going to leave me too, all he would say was Sara I don't know. We need to pray so I went to my room and prayed. Just before supper time most were leaving Aunt Kate said I should go home with Uncle Roy, I said no if mom is leaving me I want to be with her here. Aunt Kate made soup and sandwiches for us, my uncles did the chores and said they would send the boys to do them in the morning. Before I went to bed I went to see mom, we talked for a while then said my Prayers. I went upstairs to bed.
The next morning I heard noise downstairs and ran to mom's room. Mom was crying and called me to her. She told me last night God and daddy came and took the baby home with them. He was sick and couldn't stay with us. I told her I didn't know she was having a baby, they didn't tell me in case the same thing happened like before. She was so sorry but it was better this way. We called him Sammy, I asked mom what we were going to do with him and she said we would put his box by dads. That was what we did the next day, just a few friends and family were there. As everyone was leaving I went to dad's cross and told him he had his little boy and mom had me. We would all be fine. Aunt Kate had Ann stay with us for two weeks. She was 15 and out of school, everyone wanted to be sure mom would get better. The day Aunt Kate came to get her mom was crying. She told Aunt Kate she was fine it was just we forgot Sara's birthday. I was called in to the kitchen and Aunt Kate sat me by mom, she told me Sammy died on May 17th and no one remembered my birthday mom and I forgot it too. Sunday we would have a party at Uncle Ray's after church. I was four years old and didn't know it Wow.
It was a great party my aunts and cousins made me clothes, Aunt Carol made me a doll and clothes just like Betty's I loved it. Uncle Roy and Aunt Carol had three kids, Keith 15, Carl 13 and Betty 10. Uncle Ray and Aunt Kate had five kids, Ann 15, Andy 14, Joan 12, Peter 8 and Mark was 2. Everyone made me a lot of things. Mom and I left around 4 we had chores to do and needed to get home. After chores we made a small dinner then put my stuff away. My toys went into the toy box daddy made me and the clothes in the dresser and closet. We went to sit on the porch and talk. I loved to hear the sounds of the night, and look at the stars. At nine it was time for bed since Sammy went to Heaven mom had me sleep in the small bedroom by her room. She said if she was not in the house when I got up to just sit by the stove till she came in. So in the morning I put on my clothes and waited for her. Starting today we began a new life.
CHAPTER 2Things did get better, mom and I learned a lot we didn't know there was always one of my uncles there to help us. Now mom's stock was growing and she had to start thinking about what to take to market in a month. They came over to shear the sheep and the Fleece was...
