00:07: The store that her father owned sold general merchandise. Groceries, shoes, dry goods, lotions--just about anything could be purchased there. There were displays in the windows for advertisements though Mrs. Bishop admits that it was nothing as fancy as what is available to modern consumers.
1:30: Megginson briefly states that the current restaurant at the store site is beautiful, and that the Payne, Boggs, Hines, and Perry homes still stand.
2:30: The partnerships are recalled--Jim and Bob Morgan worked with her father for a time. Jim left for California and Bob eventually moved to Pickens, where he died. Her father then had a partnership with Mr. Boggs for a time.
6:14: The interview moves towards events in Mrs. Bishop's life. She taught in Piedmont for a short time before taking four years off after she was married to H.P. Bishop in 1919. She returned to teach in Seneca where she taught 34 years at Utica.
11:25: School and teachers in Seneca--Mrs. Bishop recalls that the schools were good and had fine educators. She finished high school in Seneca and went on to Lander College in Greenwood, SC. Some of her grade school teachers were Suzy Bell, Mrs. May, Mrs. Ballenger, Mrs. Thompson, and Mrs. Margaret Morrison. Mrs. Morrison apparently made an impression; she was very popular and was among the finest History teachers Mrs. Bishop ever had. The schools had good facilities and supplies; maps, globes, and a gymnasium were available for use at the school she attended.
21:10: Black schools--she can remember that there was a local black Jr. College; her high school would occasionally attend programs sponsored by the college.
22:30: Mrs. Bishop names prominent black families in the area: the Thomas's, Babel's, and Sharp's.
24:43: Mrs. Bishop names white doctors who practice in the area over the years: Dr. Burgess, Dr. Lunney, Dr. Harper, Dr. Thompson, and Dr. Austin.
26:34: Mrs. Burgess names prominent white families in the area: Pikes, Boggs, Payne's, Vandiver's, and Dillard's.
28:40: Her father J.D. Morgan was not tall in height, had dark eyes and hair, wore a mustache, and had a great sense of humor.
30:35: She attended church mostly in Seneca, though she would occasionally attend the Wesleyan Church in Calhoun.
31:50: Audio ends.
