Voices of Stafford

was born in Falmouth and has lived there all her life except for two years during which her husband was serving in the Army. She tells of times beginning when the Jefferson Davis highway was just a two lane road and how noise from the heavy traffic was very bothersome. Traffic was a challenge in Falmouth even back in the 1940s. She tells of a rope pedestrian bridge across the river. Listen to her relate stories of how the children played along side the road and in Falls Run Creek. Her favorite store was the one which sold ice cream, a real treat after the great depression. Church and school activities were important parts of the life in Falmouth where most people were known by all the citizens. A great spirit of cooperation existed. (67 minutes)
