G: I didn't marry right then. Because I left from school, I went to
 work. Went to Florida. Went to work, on my island, Mandalay Island
 down there. They call it "Isle of a Thousand Palms," for L. B. Skinner.
 He owned a couple large orange groves down there. So I come back to
 the reservation, back home. I stayed with my grandmother and my uncle
 when I came back home.

E: Which grandmother was that?

G: Nancy Harris.

E: Nancy Harris.

G: Uh huh, and Walter Harris.

E: And Walter Harris, yes.

G: They lived up there on Highland Park back in 1926. I came back here.
 I left from Florida with just little old thin clothes on. Came back
 here, everything was covered with ice. That was the big difference in
 the climate. I'm telling you it made a big difference. I like to froze
 to death before I got to the house. But I went to work, got me a job
 and went to work. I stayed with my grandmother and uncle there for a
 long time. I wanted to join the marines. Went up and passed the
 physical but I couldn't find my father, where he was located at, to
 sign the papers. My brother, Wheeliff, joined the marines. He forged
 the old man's name on the papers and he went on. I didn't. I stayed
 at my grandmother's and worked in a mill, at the Highland Park Indus-
 trial Mill, until she died in 1927, I think it was. I continued to
 work, stayed with my aunt Lucy, Latham George's mother. My brother
 and I worked and George Evans--he's dead--we worked here in the mill at
 the industrial mill mostly until I got married, I think it was in 1930,
 which was the biggest mistake of my life, I think.

E: Who did you marry?

G: Evelyn Brown.

E: Evelyn Brown was Edith Brown and Early Brown's daughter.

G: Edith Brown's daughter and Early Brown. She had three brothers: Richard
 Brown, Edward Brown, and Pete Brown, William, they call him, and one
 sister called
 So we raised our children.

E: How many children did you have by this marriage?

G: We had five boys and three girls. There was one boy and one girl that
 died. That makes six boys and four girls.
