Mary, besides doing the cooking made from vegetables and fruit gathered or the ones she had canned, she helped to plant and tend the garden. She gathered most of the vegetables that George peddled. She helped with the field work and could cut potato vines faster than anyone else. She had a yard full of chickens that refused to stay in the chicken pen that made walking in the yard risky unless you watched where you stepped. They always had plenty of chicken and eggs to eat and they sold any surplus. Milking the cows was a twice-a-day job that Mary did mostly but the children helped. Pecans were always a source of money and the kids gathered the pecans after school during the pecan season. In the 1940's Hulon sold boiled peanuts which were gathered, boiled and bagged. Mary also raised 8 children. When they were in the lower grades, May would always help them with their schoolwork. Mary remembered sitting by her side many nights reading her lessons by the light of a kerosene lamp. Mary wanted her children to get an education and they were only kept out of school to work when George felt he couldn't get along without them.
