We grew op together in Clark • Hollow,*' stated Mr. Brady, whose mother was 6. W. Pullen’s sister. Clark Hollow got its name from the Clark family who lived there, -Mrs- Brady’s mother having been Susan Catherine Clark before her ■marriage to 6. W. Pullen. I Mrs. Brady said that someone commented to her father about his daughter marrying her first cousin, to which her father replied, “I married my first cousin, my father married his first cousin, and my grandfather married his first cousin. Mrs! Brady does not know whether her father iwas just jokihg or whether it is a true statement, •but the quotation remains in the' family store of -tales.
The family is full of stories and little jokes of the neighborhood. Mr. Brady can tell tales on everyone in the community and can recite the rhymes the kids used to sing-song as they walked the road to and from school. One of these went: “Claris Hollow and Pullen Street, Fa’ people and nothin’ to eat!” He can continue with tales of the joking between his uncle* and Mr. Dabney Eastham. His uncle enjoyed teasing Mr. Eastham about being homely in appearance, and Mr. Eastham retaliated. “One day I was riding in the wagon with Uncle,” says Mr. Brady, “when we came by Mr. Eastham’s yard. Uncle hollered out ‘Whoa!’ to the team, and then called to Mr. Eastham, ‘Ho! Dabney! Would you mind turning* your back so I can get this team by (without scaring ’em?” Another series of tales Mr. Brady likes to tell involves jokes that he and Mr. Bob Ricketts used to play on each other. . ., , . •
