I do not know the woman's name. I met her in the early 1930s and I'm not even sure now where she lived. My father and I had spent the day in Marengo County visiting some of the communities where he had lived during his childhood and youth. We had been to Shiloh, Magnolia, Vineland, Dixon's Mills, Octagon and Hell's Half Acre, and he had told me stories about each place. It was at one of the homes where we stopped that he introduced me to the woman in the photograph and told me about the spinning wheel.
"That spinning wheel belonged to my mother," he told me. "She and my father were moving and they had no place to put the spinning wheel so they asked a neighbor to keep it until they got settled. For some reason, my parents never came back to claim it. Wanted you to see it."
So I took a took a picture of the woman with the spinning wheel. Now, more than sixty years later, I wonder who the woman was and what became of the spinning wheel. There is nobody to ask.

"Some people are important to intellectuals, journalists, or politicians, but Kathryn Tucker Windham is probably the only person I know in Alabama who is important to everybody."
