Interview with Aunt Phoebe Boyd, Dunnsville, Virginia, 1935 (part 1 of 8)
Author/Creator
Collaborator: Emily (Relative of Former Employer)
Interviewee: Boyd, Phoebe
Interviewer: Hill, Archibald A.
Interviewer: Lowman, Guy S.
Interviewer: Ware, Mrs. John F.
Created/Published
1935
Notes
On jacket and incised on disc: "negress" "Original - 1935"; "near 139, 140" (Community no.), and name, community, and age of informant. On jacket: "Hill & Lowman Original 1935" "Master Copy" "good". This informant shifts between disjointed reminiscences and religious chanting, punctuated by cackles of laughter. A woman asks some questions as well as GL and AH; based on comments on ADS 1389, this woman seems to be related to the informant's former employer. Based on comments about "Aunt Phoebe" on beginning of ADS 1396, Side B, and on similarity of voice, it seems that Mrs. John Faulconer Ware (ADS 1394-1397) is the woman whose voice is heard in the background of ADS 1387-1390.
Recorded by Archibald A. Hill, Mrs. John Faulconer Ware, and Guy S. Lowman, Dunnsville, Virginia, 1935.
