M: Your sons grew up in this house.

S: That's one reason I moved here. I had four boys growing up, and I figured
 that if I lived here they could walk to school. I figured that having the
 four of them go to school while living at home would save me at least fifty
 thousand dollars. All four went to P.K. Yonge, and all four went to the
 University. But one of them, the oldest one, only had a year and he went in
 the army-- Hart, Jr. He went in the army, and he was sent to officer's
 training camp in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. He was commissioned a second
 lieutenant. Then he was appointed to Annapolis, and he went from the
 army over to Annapolis.

M: That's a big change.

S: Well, the army was his first choice, but he had this appointment, and he
 thought it was worth the opportunity. So, he went on and finished Annapolis
 and he spent twenty years in the Navy.

M: When was he born?

S: He was born in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1923 or 4.

M: And when was your second son born?

S: He was born about '25-- William T. We call him Buddy. He is the artist.

M: He is the one that did all of these paintings. Beautiful.

S: My third son was born in the late '20s, and the fourth one was born when we
 were out here.

M: You were already in this house when the fourth one was born.

S: Well, it was in the house next door. We built that one first and then this
 one later. So, we were in this area when Jimmy was born.

M: Let's talk about some of the businesses that were in town. You have mentioned
 some of the other grocers in town and some of the other businesses, but
 earlier we were talking about, for instance, your father-in-law's business.
 He had a soda fountain?

S: No, that was my brother-in-law, Martin Glass. My father-in-law was Mr. A.
 [Arthur] L. Glass. He was superintendent of this division of the Atlantic
 Coastline Railroad.

M: I see. What period was this?

S: He died around 1915 so it was prior to that.

M: So, then Henry Turner must have worked...

S: Well, Henry Turner was the local station agent. Mr. Glass was the division
 superintendent. I don't know how big the area was. The whole time that
 I was in business in Gainesville I was on the railroad and I could look out
 my window and see any train go by. I knew all the fellows personally because
 I had dealings with them practically every day. I remember there were several
