	I lived there with m~r Pappy until I was about eighteen ‘and then I married and moved around all over Louisiana from time to time, My wife give me t~velve boys and five girls, but all my children are dead now but five. My wife died in 1920 and. I come up here to Tulsa to live. °ne of my daughters takes care and. looks out for me now.

	I seen the old. Sack P. Gee place about twenty years ago, and. it was all cut up in little places and all rtm down, Never would have known it was one time a lig plantation ten miles long.

	~	I seen places going to rack aM ruin all around -~ all th~places I lived at in Louisiana — b~it I~m glad I wasn1 t there to see Master SaCks ~ place go &own. He wa~ a good m and. done right by all his negroes.

	Yes, Lord, my âld feets have been in mighty nigh every parish in LouisIana, and. I seen some mighty pretty places, but I~ll never forget how that old. Gee plantation looked when I was a boy.
