Caroline: There were several Gates Camps all over Drew Co., but one was near the Line Community. My Aunt Edna Wolfe lived there. She always said that it was the best place she ever lived. After living there, she said coming to the Prairie was a very big shock. For one, she said her house on the Prairie was in horrible condition. In fact, one of her humorous stories was the fact that her mother told her father that that house was so shoddy that panthers would eat the children. Therefore, when her cousin Lois Young Wigley saw an old owl looking at them from up above, she told Aunt Edna, "Don't look now, but there's a panther in that tree." Aunt Edna's reaction was to scream bloody murder and bring Grannie Green and Mrs. Claud Bowden running as fast as they could to see what had happened to the children. Aunt Edna said they also had a school, and it was well run; whereas the one on the Prairie had my Uncle Pat Wolfe and the Boykin boys in it. They were older teenage boys and could have cared less about learning. As a result they spent their time terrorizing the teacher by throwing her boots on the roof, etc. Aunt Edna said it was very much as if she had left paradise and moved to hell. The very first morning her cousins and she went to school, they had dirt clods thrown at them by the neighboring boys. Also, Aunt Edna said there was a church, which was very well-run, and everyone was expected to attend. Mr. Bill Bailey, father to the Bill Bailey, who married Clara Dunham/Donham Bailey of Bill and Clara's Beauty Shop fame was in charge of the camp. The best that I can tell he was something akin to the sheriff or magistrate of the camp. From the way Aunt Edna talked it was like one community or village under the directorship of Gates-selected officials. Whenever the work in the area was finished, they were moved, belongings and all, by train to the next place a camp would be erected. She remembered being moved by night (so the children should be asleep) to their next site, which I believe was in the l6th Section Community near Possum Valley. It was between the Valley and New Hope near the crossroad that are above the l6th Section ([white] another l6th Section Community [black] near Selma) Cemetery. The best I could ever understand it was back in behind Midway but not as far as the Line Community. Once the work was done in the area the camps were abandoned. If I'm not mistaken, the buildings were of some sort of portable type. As far as the Haisty store, I can remember seeing a picture somewhere of this Mr. Haisty standing in the door of a wooden, unpainted structure, and I was told this was the Haisty store. I hope this has been beneficial; I'm sorry I didn't listen a little better and have a better description of the exact location.BETH
