Mariah Parrish and Joseph Yearty wed and lived on a large forty (40) acre farm in the backwoods of Winfield, Florida. They had 14 children. One of those children was my mother, Lillie Yearty. Lillie grew up and wed to my dad (Pappa) Ulysess Humphrey, and they resided in Gainesville, Florida.
A Whole Lot of Hogs
Well, back to that first farm in Winfield, Momma told me that everything they ate was grown on that farm. Turkeys, chickens, ducks, rice, and sweet potatoes. They ground their own grits and meal, too. But the most things you could see on that farm were hogs. I mean a whole lot of hogs. So there was always plenty of ham, bacon, pork chops, and ribs. It wasn’t like it is today; everything was grown and fixed on the farm that was needed by the family.
My mother and father, Lillie Yearty and Ulysess Humphrey, had six children. Besides my self who was born in Gainesville, Florida, there was Mattie born in Newberry, Florida, and Amos (born in new River), and Ulysess (named after Poppa), and a set of twins Myrtle and Marie, who were born in Hastings, Florida. They were the first set of twins since great aunt Martha and great aunt Mary. My brothers and sisters spawned a whole lot of Smiths, Hattens (and Johnson’s) and plenty of Humphreys, too. All beginning from Mariah Parrish and Joseph Yearty.
