Phyllis Jean Onion - Phyllis and Her Grandmother
“My grandmother raised me from the time I was in the fourth grade til I graduated from high school. And she uh lived next door to the church in Loveton, Indiana. So I had to help with that, too. And one Sunday morning we went to church and this lady come in the front door and her underwear fell down on the ground. And I started giggling and my grandmother kept poking me and saying be quiet, be quiet. And that was the only thing I can remember.”
