Truman was a farmer near Center Ridge in Smith Count, Mississippi. Principle crops raised were watermelons, cotton, and vegetables. He could Buck Dance and play piano by ear. He made his own corn whiskey. On Sundays, he would cut his neighbor's hair for them on his front porch. He lived in a pine dogtrot house. He bought his farm from his mother-in-law, Mary Celeste Bryant Tillson, who lived with him and his wife, her daughter Ina Myrtle Tillson. He rolled his own cigarettes and died of heart disease (I think). He was a WW I Era Veteran but never left the US. He was ill during his service and suffered lung damage from it. It was probably the 1917 fly. He enjoyed reading Zane Gray books. I don't think he went to High School, only to 8th grade in a one room school house.
