Here's
my grandmother Lydia Thomas, holding one of my cousins.
As
I recall the story, for a time my grandparents made their home at
the gas station, living in the trailer that you can see in the background.
Not

gasoline. The vehicle at the bottom appears to be a coal
delivery wagon. Homeowners commonly used coal for heating and cooking. |
