00:07: Their children were well educated. Dr. Shirley's sister-in-law was one of the home school teachers. She was associated with Central Wesleyan College.
1:14: Megginson wishes to know Rosamond's impression of the Central Wesleyan Church. The building seemed as if it was a schoolhouse; Megginson confirms this assessment. The structure was wooden, and very simple in appearance.
4:15: Mention is made of her mother-in-law's boarding house style establishment. Nineteen rooms were added onto the original structure.
7:12: The first automobiles--Rosamond cannot recall who had the first. Her husband eventually owned a Franklin, but she cannot recall the year.
8:00: Megginson is interested in Rosamond's impressions of Calhoun. She states that it was "heavenly," with wonderful and friendly people. The town itself was small, but spread out. Calhoun consisted of a few stores and the post office. The area was nicely kept up, and had beautiful, large homes.
9:45: Poor sections--Rosamond recalls that there really weren't any "poor" sections of town, and that if anyone fell on hard times, the whole community would help.
11:21: Megginson encourages Rosamond to talk about some of her favorite people in the community. She immediately mentions Louise Smith (Megginson's grandmother). She apparently had a very bubbly and joyful personality. Mrs. Jane Prince was a favorite as well.
13:04: Clemson College sponsored activities: concerts, glee club events, lectures, and parties seemed to always be going on.
14:15: When her husband was young, there was no electricity or indoor plumbing. The roads were not paved. Rosamond gives the impression that Calhoun's facilities modernized fairly easily, but gives no specific dates.
18:00: Concerts at Clemson College were held in a large auditorium at Tillman Hall. There was usually no charge. Rosamond cannot remember ever seeing women perform.
21:08: Brief mention is made of the landscape of Calhoun, and its old trees. The conversation turns to the fire at Fort Hill, making the date of this interview around 1988. Megginson assures her that the damage was not severe.
26:00: Megginson is interested to know anything of the black community. She believes the local black community was called "Abel." In her estimation, relations between whites and blacks were "very good." They were not economically better off than any other black community, yet the relationships seemed "close."
29:00: White churches--Rosamond attended most of the churches in Calhoun, especially the Methodist and Episcopalian. She can remember that Clemson College cadets had to attend. Services lasted "longer than they do now."
31:38: Audio ends.
