P.D. Harraway born 1857 in Alabama.



I came to Pauls Valley, Oklahoma in 1900.  I am now working for 

Sam Kendall, who owns a grocery store.  I use to nurse him on my 

knee back in Alabama.   He came here right after I did and he went 

into the grocery business.  I just hired my own self as clean up man.  

He can't fire me.  If he did I wouldn't quit. 

 

I built me a house in the south side of Pauls Valley.  My house was 

the first one there at that time but today it is known as part of 

Negro town.



I haven't much to tell about this country.  I was a hard working 

Negro and stayed at home.

 

Never have been arrested in my life. 



I am now 80 years old and still working for Mr. Sam Kendall who 

I use to rock on my knee back in Alabama.

  

I have lived at my present home for 36 years.
