Biography* From Joan Croft Ashton:

My father told a story of the hard times the family had
during and after the depression (everyone had a hard time).
He remembers that someone left a large sack of flour on the
porch, and when Grandpa found it, he threw it out in the yard.
Very typical of the hard-headedness in the family.

I also remember helping bring in one of my Grandfather's
last crops of tobacco. Most all the children were stationed at
the drying barn, and since I was the smallest able to help,
my station was in the canvas sled that was pulled between
the rows of tobacco by a tractor. My Grandfather drove the
tractor, as my Uncle Roger and my Father walked beside the
sled, pulling the ripe leaves from the bottom of the plants.
My job was to straighten all the leaves so all the stems
pointed the same direction. When the sled was full, all the
other brothers and sisters tied it in handfulls to sticks
and then it was put up on racks high up in the rickety
barn with heaters to help it dry.
After drying, it was then removed from the drying sticks, and
stacked in a 'wheel' shape, and wrapped in burlap, after which it
sat in an abandoned house at the front of thier rented land
for a period of time before being taken to market where it
was auctioned off. I vaguely remember one cotton harvest, but
that was reeely a long time ago.
If I relate that story to anyone, it seems to them a world
away from today, and I find it a truly unique experience. Even
though several siblings joined the military and were away from
the farming family as adults, they always came together
sometime during the summer to help with various harvests.1
