Joyce Reed (JR): Lord, I will have to think back. It was in the [19]30s. Wayne Reed (WR): She was born in Pitts, Georgia in Wilcox County [in 1918]. And then her family moved down here. JR: We came to Turner County, I think I was in the 7th grade [approximately 1931-1932]. TCP: And why did you move to Turner County? JR: Well, my dad was a sharecropper and he moved from one landowner to another about every year or two. And so he moved here with a man named Guy Reed that he rented to. He subrented from another man and my daddy sharecropped with him. And we have been here since then. TCP: Where did you move to in Turner County? JR: We moved to a place called Davisville. A little community up near the hunting lodge [Red Pebble??]. It was on that farm but back a little ways. They lived and worked on that farm for a little while. From that place to a district called Amboy to the top of this hill [behind Reed Lane]. We called it the McHugh Hill because that was my daddy’s name [Joe McHugh]. TCP: How long did you live there? JR: Til I got married. I graduated from high school in 1936 in Rebecca. We only had 11 grades. We got married in 1942. WR: Daddy [Bobby Reed] was 17 years older than her. He was born in 1901. When World War I came along, daddy had a broke[n] leg and could not go off. When WW2 came along, he was just about too old for that war too but he broke the same leg again.
