A. Varen. inter. H. Fed. - 29 - 8/23/72 Tape 29-1

the living room most everywere it was a bedroom and the trap door would be in
that room and I know in that small housse that we lived in right up across the
alley here well that trap door was directly under our bed we had a bed down in
the front room because upstairs there were 2 beds my brothers and our Annie
and our Mary downstairs I was the youngest of the family I wasn't even 6 years
old when we moved from there well I slept with my mother and dad and their
bed was down in the front room and under the bed if you wanted to go down in
that cellar you had to move the bed to get to that trap door it was a regular square
trap door, for potatoes or whatever you could put down there well they didn't go
in so much for canned goods because they didn't know how to do it

AV: So you didn't have a cold cellar in your place

HF: Not one of those outside no

AV: Do you rememberr who else on Back Sreet had cold cellars

HF: I don't remember
