Notes for CLARA
ELIZABETH SALTER:
Clara's Mother
died when Clara was between the ages of 10 years and 11 years. She went to live with her grandmother,
Samantha Ham, until her death in 1916.
Clara then lived with her aunt, Mattie Lee Ham, called, Aunt Sweet by
the family.
Clara was my
grandmother. We called her Granny and
she was a wonderful Grandmother. She was
short and about as round as she was tall. She loved cowboy movies and took us
to the Drive-In often.
She was so
sweet and had spunk. She had a stroke once and she was determined to get back
to normal. And she did! She worked very
hard at her exercises and returned to all of her normal activities.
She was very,
very special.

My dad loved
onions. I remember him talking about how hard times were when he was a kid.
Actually, he wasn't complaining about
it. Just sharing his early life with me. His dad had left for a while
and his mom, my grandmother, had three boys to support. She worked at the mills
in Columbus, GA seven days a week for a $7.00 paycheck. This would have been in
the late 20's. Dad and his two brothers were still in school. He told me, they
would leave for school while his mom was still sleeping. She had worked all
night.
When they
returned home, she had gone back to work. She would make a big batch of
biscuits and they would use those to make onion sandwiches. I cried when he
told me that and I realized how hard his life must have been.
My grandmother
and my dad were hard workers all of their lives. My dad quit school in the
eight grade to help the family.
He was a part
of the work program started by President Roosevelt. He said it was the best
thing that ever happened to him.
When he joined
the Army Air Corp, during WWII, he tested so high, he was allowed to choose his
training. I have always been so proud of him, for his accomplishments.
Considering his lack of formal education, he was a very successful man. He
owned restaurants in Columbus and after we moved to
Florida, he
took whatever work he could. He eventually became vice president in charge of
production for Lawson Industries, a large window company, in Hialeah, FL. He
developed all of the formulas for testing the glass doors and windows in the
high rises, against high winds. I was so amazed that he knew algebra with no
education.
Dad died in
1995 of lung cancer. Much of what he shared with me was done in the few months
before he died. As hard as those times were, I will be forever grateful for
those sharing times we had.
