Notes for Martha Elizabeth Johnson:
My Heritage
Written by Martha Adams Meek
23 August 2007
My grandmother Martha Elizabeth Johnson was born 09 May 1874 in the Mountains of Floyd County Kentucky. When she was nine years old, her mother died of typhoid fever. She was the oldest girl in the family with three little girls younger than her, one of them a year old or younger, to be taken care of, the food to be cooked, and the house to clean.
Her father and older brother, Tom, had to work from daylight to dark to raise every bite of their food from poor mountain soil. They had to feed the livestock, milk the cow, raise the corn to feed them and shear the sheep for the wool to make their clothes. They also raised linen flax from which they had to soak the stalks in water to obtain the fibers. The wool had to be combed to staighten, spun into thread, and woven into material so that it could be made into the clothes they wore. Their shoes were made on a last from the beefskins of their animals they killed for food. Ma even had to make candles ( most women did ) and they sometimes ran out since she was just a child and placed pine torches into the stone chimney to see by to work after dark.
There were no schools when she was little in that country, so she could not read or write. She could not have had the privilege if there had been, there was too much work to do at home just to stay alive.
Elisha and Eliza and their combined family can be found on the 1880
