All we could think about was our grandparents and how they worked too hard to let it just fall down. |
Grandma was a Grogan and had come from a section of Dobson known as Freetown. Grandma's father had earned his freedom by working nights and weekends. |
Grandpa was such a phenomenal person when I think about it. When he was 9, he served a family for six months so that his family could have a cow, and they were good to him. On Saturdays, his mother would walk to see him.... It didn't kill their spirit. They weren't bitter. |
We just want to keep it this way so that people can see how they lived in this community in those days. This is a way to honor my grandparents. |
