Figure 25: Fireplace, pot, iron, and broom

Ms. Catherine always had a stove that she used for cooking, but Archie Waiters recalled that, when he was a child, his grandmother Maum Florence used a pot like this to "cook in the fireplace--peas, collards, chicken, anything."  Ms. Catherine made this house broom in the old-time way, using a narrow strip of soft cloth, tightly wrapped around the upper portion of the broomstraw.  (Photo 1994)
