In the book, YOU ALWAYS THINK OF HOME, by Pamela Grundy, there is an interview with Elvadie Wallace, age 86...."My dad was from Georgia. He met my mother in Amarillo. She lived in Oklahoma, out ion Texas and Oklahoma. They got married. And years ago, people when they changed
climates, they'd have malaria. You've heard about it, I'm sure. You'd have chills and fever. So it wasn't long after they were married, the doctors told him if he didn't go back home, he was going to die. he
got so bad, he sold off everything but a covered wagon and a team, and he put the family and the bedclothes all in the covered wagon, and started back to home. And we traveled eighteen months in the covered wagon... My husband, Marshall, was plowing one day, and he fell between the plow handles. Something happened with his heart. He couldn't work the farm anymore. So we moved to Talladega. When we was up there, Marshall got him a job. He was with the foundry. And this union business came up. It was a closed shop. Everybody belongs. And the Primitive Baptists won't let you in join any other organization, period. He wouldn't join. So they sent him home. There we were with six children. No work. No money. House rent to pay. Utilities to pay. Groceries to buy. Well, he was in his forties and he couldn't find work. And on day I was talking to God..."What can I do?'..."You can answer lights." Work in the hospital and take care of patients. That's what we called it. Answer lights...God has taken care of me all of my life."
