DM:\u00a0\u00a0 He was a dog fighter.\u00a0 Had a caf\u00e9 down on the highway.<\/p>\n

EW:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Has it always looked pretty much like that, just little?<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 It didn\u2019t have the front porch coming out on it.<\/p>\n

LS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Was it Frank Thomas?<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And this was highway 61 right?<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 Right.<\/p>\n

EW:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So we are fixing to turn on Leflore and we are fixing to go north.\u00a0 Now tell us about crossing the bayou right here?\u00a0 Was the Chinese Church \u2013 I mean restaurant here on the south side of it?<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was a grocery store.<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, that was a grocery store.\u00a0 This was vacant all along here.\u00a0 And the first tennis court in Cleveland was right about where that second house is.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do you remember this house?<\/p>\n

LS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That house was built by Bob Somerville probably in the early \u201820\u2019s or maybe before.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s 518.<\/p>\n

LS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 About 18?<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No, 518 is the address.\u00a0 Was it a farm house?<\/p>\n

LS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No, she had a kindergarten there.\u00a0 We, all of us had went to the kindergarten.\u00a0 Went from kindergarten right to Hill Demonstration School in 1926.\u00a0 We started out in the second grade because we had been to her kindergarten.\u00a0 That was Mrs. Bob Somerville, Mrs. Keith Dockery\u2019s mother that had the kindergarten.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Did Keith Dockery live there then?<\/p>\n

LS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 She grew up there.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And it is real close to Victoria and set so far back from Leflore, was there a story about that?
\nLS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Interesting.\u00a0 They never used much the back entrance.\u00a0 The Whittamore\u2019s did that I think.\u00a0 But it\u2019s always had the front entrance and circular drive.\u00a0 But Mrs. Keith after the kindergarten went to teach at the high school.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There\u2019s a building beside it that looks like it might have been a barn or something and now has almost a little apartment in it.\u00a0 It\u2019s a guest house on the side by Victoria.\u00a0 Was that built \u2013 do you remember that building?<\/p>\n

LS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It wouldn\u2019t have been \u2013 it would be recently.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is where the tennis court was at 517?<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 Uh huh.\u00a0 Back in there.\u00a0 It was a Chinese family that lived in a house.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think it was either one of these, but a house that was here.\u00a0 And they owned the tennis court.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Did you have to pay to play?<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 No, we had to scrape the grass of the court.\u00a0 It was a dirt court.<\/p>\n

EW:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So none of these houses were here.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s 513.<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 But I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What about the brick houses across the street?<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 They weren\u2019t from here when I was here.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Would there have been a lot of traffic on this road since it was 61.<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, it was a lot of traffic.<\/p>\n

LS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was mule traffic when I was little.<\/p>\n

LS:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We had three or four gins and the gins would be taking the cotton bales down to the compress.<\/p>\n

CM:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do you remember these two houses?<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 I remember \u2013 which one is it \u2013 no, I don\u2019t remember either one of these.\u00a0 I remember the last one up there.\u00a0 A person named Cecil Wright lived in it.\u00a0 I worked with her at the Welfare Office.<\/p>\n

DM:\u00a0\u00a0 The last one here, the little one.<\/p>\n

EW:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 505?<\/p>\n
