Francis and his mother Anna Belle Cook

The interview I’m sharing today is the first part of one Taylor did with her grandfather Francis. He is Granny Bell’s second youngest son.

Like other interviewees Francis speaks about his life as well as his mother.

From working in the tobacco when she was in her 80s to reporting lawlessness Granny Bell was a tough mountain woman. I hope you enjoyed hearing from Francis. Be sure to drop back by tomorrow for next part of his interview.
