HIST: Memories of Childhood, written by Leanora Nelson Walker Simons, 1979.
HIST:
HIST: I remember, we lived in a house on mid Queen Street down stairs in back & bedrooms up front of Mr. Roseman's cigar store. We had a big back yard that went back to the alley. My father had a big stable for his horses 4 to 6 head of bigwork horses & one beautiful sorrel mare named Lena. There was room for hay and his lumber wagons, 4-6 to 8 wheels - single tree - long enough to carry telephone poles. There was a corn crib too. My brother Edwin fell through the trap doorwhere hay was pushed down from above - he caught his chin on a nail & had a bad tear under his jaw. The yard had all kinds of petcages in it. He would bring young animals in from the woods. We had a racoon- it finally died & every time mybrother went out the ' 'big boys' ' would say insing-song ' 'Who fed the coon carpet tacks.' ' There was a cage with white mice &baby mice. There was a huge wire net squirrel cage 6ft. high traipse hanging awheel that turned as they ran on it &boxes for them to hide. A hunting dog named King was chained to his dog house, Mother didn't like dogs.
HIST: The backof our yard was opposite May Burrs house. This was a huge white house that used to be an Inn where the stage coaches stopped. May went to Bucknell University, but became unbalanced when her beautiful white horse died, she hadits tailcut off and wore it around her neck on a chain. She began to dress in long flowing robes as in Bible times, she wore veils made out of cheese cloth over herhead and face - nothing was exposed - she walked in the middle of the roads -noone would touch her when purchasing anything - she would extend then drop herhand so no contact was made. She painted her beautiful old house by sitting onthe window sill & and as far as she could reach in all directions. People thoughtthat she was starving her Mother and she heard about it and almost killed her by stuffing bananas down her throat. I remember her Mother, a skinny littleold lady dressed in black with tiny yellow sprigs of roses on material. The ' 'big boys' 'used to torment May by running sticks along her white picket fence. It enraged her and she would chase them with a butcher knife. I was born in onesection of the big sprawling house, but don't remember living there.
HIST: Speaking of the ' 'big boys,' ' Edwin was playing marbles one day -- I happened to goto the barn one day and noticed a cage of 'quina hens' dead, that Ed was supposed to feed & water, so I ran over to the marble game screaming ' 'Ed, Ed, thequina's dead' ' the boys teased him by singing that for a while after.
HIST: In that house I remember I was about 5 years old on my knees backward in a small rocking chair - I rocked to hard and went over backwards and caught my chin on thespout of the coal-oil can.
HIST: I also remember my sister Nina was cleaning up next day after July 4th, she made a big fire and tossed all the wrappings from the fire crackers in it they blew up and she was badly burned, her hair, eyelashes and face, she later lookedlike a bandaged mummy on the couch.
HIST: It was while we lived there that my younger sister Marge - maybe 4 or 5 years old -had a bad fall backwards and fell on a plow share & struck her spine. She wasa cripple, it took years of leg braces, a high chair that could go up anddown,with wheels - & osteopath treatments by a Dr. Richardson ‎(lady doctor)‎ in Danville, PA, 12 miles away. Toward the when I was about 10 years old, my Mother used to put the two of us on the D L & W train to make the trip to Danville at 10o'clock, I was scared to death because we had to go along a full block with aneight foot solid board fence between the side walk and a banging clanging ironworks.
HIST: By this time my father was owner & running my grandfather Walker's Hardware store. We moved across the street in
