{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
When my grandfather started off with the foundry, he always talked about fifty cents a day.
[00:25:01]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
Fifty cents a day.
[00:25:03]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
And he worked up from the foundry to the railroad.
[00:25:06]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
One time he was a cook on the railroad; had parlor cars, and he made--
[00:25:11]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
He'd cook for-- and then he went from the parlor car into Pullman Porter.
[00:25:17]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}

[00:25:22]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
Well, as like-- as I said, Mrs. Borden, but she's moved-- she moves from Lexington.
[00:25:27]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
But I imagine she-- Louise Borden, but I imagine she's--
[00:25:31]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
I think that was her name, Louise Borden. But it was so long ago.
[00:25:37]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
And--

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
As I said it was in the '20s
[00:25:40]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
And Mrs. Borden,-- You were waving your hand a minute ago. Can you tell us--
[00:25:44]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Can you tell us why you were waving?

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
Well, that was-- I was trying to wave it cause she lived at the [[?]] apartment.

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
I see.

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
That had been just built.
[00:25:51]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
And she lived on the top floor.
[00:25:53]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
That's the brick building down - down the way?
[00:25:55]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
Yes, right here on the corner.
[00:25:56]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
I see.

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
And we had never had a brick building before. The [[?]] one of the dentist brothers. Well there was two dentists, but one of them built that building.
[00:26:09]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Do you know anything about Mrs. Borden?
[00:26:12]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
No, I don't.
[00:26:14]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
She's not from Roanoke?
[00:26:16]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
No, she's - I think it was Lexington. And he only had doctors and teachers living in it at that time.

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
So do - was a - was Louise Borden a teacher, do you think?
[00:26:29]

{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
I don't think so.
[00:26:30]

{SPEAKER name="Louise Spence"}
Can you tell us a little bit about what Louise Borden looked like?
[00:26:39]
{SPEAKER name="Theresa Holmes"}
I don't think so.
