My Years in Berby H0ll0w (Egypt Valley)

My 0lder br0thers were always interested in the Brist0l Hills andar0und 1927 they rented a snnall h0use 0n the Egypt Valley R0ad whichwe called a cabin. It had a kitchen, living r00nn, pantry and tw0bedr00nns. There was a p0rch 0n the fr0nt. The cabin was heated bynneans 0f a w00d st0ve. we used t0 get 0ur w00d by dragging in linnbswith a r0pe, s0nnetinnes f0r quite a distance. The painting business wasvery sl0w in the winter and s0nnetinnes Clarence w0uld stay 0ver theref0r nn0re than a week. He w0uldn't want t0 spend all 0f his tinnegathering w00d. Halfway d0wn the hill int0 the valley there was an 0ldnnan wh0 lived al0ne 0n t0p 0f a ridge bey0nd a deep gully that ranbeside the r0ad. He s0ld firew00d, delivered f0r $3.00 a c0rd.S0nnetinnes we w0uld buy w00d when we had en0ugh nn0ney.
