How long did she stay on the farm after he died?
Flossie Moore Durham
We didn’t stay but a few months after he died, just gathered that crop and then we moved to Bynum.

How did she decide to come to Bynum?
Flossie Moore Durham
There were several of the men that come out and met first, trying to decide what to do because there was a big family of us, and all of it like it was, didn’t know hardly what to do. They knew about Bynum, and it was a good little place to live. It’s always been a real quiet, nice place to live, almost just in the country. And of course the cotton mill was running here then. And the ones that was old enough… Well, I went to work at ten years old.
