My Grandfather as a young man worked in the logging business during the timber boom in the Woolmarket area. He drove a heard of oxen which pulled the trees out of the forest so they could be taken to the sawmills around the old community. Mr. John Ross was the owner of the Oxen team. After the timber boom came to a halt, grandpa worked for the county and drove a big truck and with his crew they patched holes on the blacktop roads in Harrison County, Mississippi. When the bridge over Parker's creek washed out he had to go light smudge pots in the evening so no one would go into the creek. As a kid I use to go with him to light the smudge pots. I loved to go with my grandpa around the old homestead, he would repair the fences and garden and he was a great role model. He taugh me to "bank" sweet potatoes so they would not freeze in the winter. I learned many things from him as I grew up and I miss him a lot. He has been gone many years, but I will always remember all the things he taught me. I would go with him to his brother's house across the branch to borrow the mule to plow the field and my greatest thrill was getting to ride home on the old mule! Life back then was much better and happy times, unlike the fast pace of today.
