The following summary of Pearl Arnold Green was submitted by Grandson Ron Green on 05/25/07
Pearl (Arnold) Green was the wife of Toland Green. She bore 5 children. One child, Claudine died at birth and was buried on Christmas eve. She had twin sons, Dean and Doyle and two daughters Lorene and Leone.
Grandmother was a loving woman who enjoyed laughter and fun. After Dad died, going to Grandmother's was a treat and an adventure. Saturday was the day to dress up and go to town and buy whatever staples were needed. They never had money for extras, but as children we didn't know it because they were at least rich in happiness.
I cannot confirm this information but I believe Pearl's mother Grandmother Arnold was blind.
Memories of Grandmother Green were made during the summer vacations and at holidays. Breakfast was eggs, ham or sausage (home grown and smoked), and hand-made biscuits. Biscuits were made for breakfast and lasted through the day. Coffee was boiled. Hot coffee was cooled in a saucer. Something grandchildren learned from Granddad. Granddad always had a biscuit with red-eye gravy. Biscuits and sausage or ham made great sandwiches when we went on rare fishing trips to the Saline River (I think that is where we went).
Grandmother was always in the kitchen cooking, cleaning or canning. She churned butter on the back porch and washed closed in the wash pot in the back yard. Old biscuits went out the back door and never hit the ground.The dogs caught them first.
When she was frustrated at something, which wasn't often, her favorite term for any object or animal was "you heifer". I can see her saying it many times accompanied with a grin afterwards.
One of the Grandchildren (boys) held court and summarily hung a rooster one summer. It was found after Dennis and I left. We played cowboys and stuff but we didn't lasso the rooster. Dennis and I were never accused and we think we know which cousin did it, James Hartness (son of Leone) who later became a forest ranger.
We (myself, Dennis, and James) did however kill a snake and put it in the outhouse. Aunt Lorene found it, but never made a peep about it (we were hiding or so we thought). She removed the snake and went on about her business.
There were rules for being at Grandmother's house:
1.Grandchildren didn't sleep too late. If you did in the winter time you risked a dipper full of cold water to help extract you from under warm covers.
2.You didn,t shoot the Mockingbird that nested in the cedar tree out in front of the house.
3.You took a bath in a washtub on the back porch. For young boys, more often than they felt was necessary.
