John Summerous is interviewed by Lorraine Crittenden on May 20, 1986 as a part of the Western North Carolina Tomorrow Black Oral History Project. Born in 1900 in Georgia, Summerous’ parents died when he was about 13 and he and his siblings were taken in by different families. He talks about jobs he had from a young age up until the age of 84 when he retired. He and his wife Katherine (1912-1998) recall the Depression, using ration stamps, and games they played growing up. He talks about changes he has seen in the way neighbors treat one another over time and also the differences between Georgia and Cherokee County. He recalls one memorable Christmas.
