Neighbors

While living in the country we had no close neighbors. About all the people I saw was family. I didn't have any friends because there were none near by. Maybe a cousin would come on Sun. but other than that it was just family. I think that's what made me so shy when we moved. Because we had close neighbors, bunches of them. Living next door at 502 was my Mama's brother, Uncle Jake and aunt Nancy and my cousin Gloria Jean. Jean was 6 mo. older than me. I found out later that Uncle Jake played a big part in our move. Next door to them was the Hightowers, they didn't stay there long. At 506 were the Beasley's (Roy) and his wife ( don't remember her name and she died soon after we moved there. They had 3 children. Betty was the oldest and she had already married to Buford Fowler. They would soon move into the Hightower house. Mack was the son and him and M.C. became good friends. A daughter Sue, and she and Sarah were good friends. Next to them were the Armstrong's (Floyd) and his wife. They had a daughter name Elmeta (ms)and a son named Hodges. We grew up together and were best friends for years. At 510 were the Chancey's I really don't remember much about them except they had some girls and a son named Obe. They also had a television, the first one I had even seen.
