3:55--Mrs. Tidmore briefly discusses her parents and grandparents farms, and the crops that were commonly grown before turning to aspects of her own education and employment.
5:55--Her mother's involvement with Bethel Grove is mentioned, as well as the fact that many of the local houses in her neighborhood in Pendleton were constructed with the help of her father.
7:15--Mrs. Tidmore gives the impression that she lived away from South Carolina for many years before retuning after retirement.
7:40--Education--She attended Anderson County Training School, Sterling High in Greenville, Union High in Belton, and Morris College in Sumter.
9:15--Church--Tidmore was the Vice President for the Council of Matrons [SC] for eleven years.
11:45--Mrs. Tidmore makes short comments on a variety of topics: shopping at Hunter's Store, white/black relations, lynching incidents, slavery, camp meeting and singing conventions, and hot suppers.
20:35--Mulattos--although she states that she would never speak for how the mulatto community actually felt, her belief is that they may have thought that they were a little higher socially than blacks. She doesn't feel that many of the relationships were mutual or romantic in nature; rather she feels it more likely that the black women were being taken advantage of by whites.
23:00--Mrs. Tidmore discusses celebrations and holidays in the black community, talks briefly about her marriage, and states that she would have like to have had the opportunities that are available to the current generation.
