Memory of Lula Coon Harris, by her grand-niece, Mary Adams Hutchinson:
Lula owned a house in Bolton, Mississippi that must have been a lovely mansion when it was built. By the 50's, it was so outdated electrically that it is amazing it never caught fire. By then her eyesight and hearing was so bad that she could not see the condition the house was in, and it continues to fall apart today.
She was a fun great aunt, in spite of her disabilities. She'd call our house and we'd know who mother was talking to because she would be shouting in the phone. She wanted to come and pick up us kids and take us from ice cream, but her eyesight was so bad that mother always insisted on going along and driving. Once she asked Lula if she could read a STOP sign and she said "no, but I know the color and shape of one when I see if ..."
When mother hit hard times, Lula let her move into her trailer behind the old house. Mother hated living in a trailer, but was still grateful.
As kids, a few year Lula would have a banner crop in her pecan orchard. We'd go over and pick up pecans and get paid by the pound. One year, they hired a tree shaker to really get the nuts down fast ...but a few years later, the crops were bad and we never went back.
