Biography*
While Heb and Sarah and their children, Inez and Guy, were living on the Will Woods farm in Bell Arthur, Pitt County, North Carolina, at age 43 Heb had a heart attack. The very same night, Sarah stepped off their six foot high back porch and broke her leg. Heb was in the hospital for months and Sarah could not do anything for herself or family for weeks. During this time his mother, Mammy, gave him two acres of tobacco to farm on her land in Ayden. When they moved to this farm, neither of them could look after themselves or their family. Heb’s sister, Nell, came over and helped them until Sarah was back on her feet. Shortly afterwards, Sarah when to work at a restaurant in Greenville located at “five points”. She had to walk approximately 2 miles from their home to the bus station at Edward’s drug store in downtime Ayden and catch a 5:00 AM bus to Greenville. First her son, Guy, walked with her to the bus station and later when he was able, Heb walked with her. Sarah made $18 per week plus tips. She had a third grade education; taking and writing customer’s orders were a real challenge! On one occasion while working at this restaurant, she went to wait on a table and the man at the table was exposing himself. She told the owner and he told her she ought to have spilled coffee on him. She worked at this restaurant for 3 or 4 years. As time went on she worked less hours and helped farm. She eventually left and started working the lunch counter at Edward’s Pharmacy in downtime Ayden. Several years later, Heb and Sarah would buy his mother’s farm in Ayden with the help the pharmacist, Dr. Edwards, who loaned them money to buy the farm.
