   By Kathryn Hoskins Jan 2002
   
   Hi- Well I started a little of my child hood days. They are kinda quiet compared to Dads.
   
   Well first I was born to Esther and Ernest Rogers, at Lake View hospital Danville, Ill. I just weighed about 4 lb. Course I was the only child for about 9 years when I had a little brother, Charles Donald Rogers. He was a surprise to me and the neighbors too.
   
   My father had built a nice house in Oakwood where I lived for almost 19 years. The house still stands and my brother now lives there with his wife Linda. My childhood was rather quiet. My school was Oakwood Grade School and then 4 years at Oakwood Twp. High. I always liked school and hardly missed a day. Every Sunday was Sunday school which I attended at the Oakwood Methodist Church. My mom and dad took me. There was a big sand pile in a box we always got to play in the first year. My mother taught Sunday School for quite a few years.
   
   My Dad got a brand new model T Ford when I was 6 or 7 yrs. old. He would go to work in it and I remember it going around the block ugga ugga and kinda woke the neighbors up early in the morning, it even had a rumble seat, This was about the first one in Oakwood.
   
   About age 10, I joined 4-H and learned to sew and make jam to can. My first dress was a blue flowered cotton, which I was really proud of.
   
   Mrs. Lela Burton was my first grade teacher. There was a book we had in 2nd grade, called Fun With Dick and Jane. So we had a big lesson and made homemade fudge with nuts at school. Mrs. Burton read a lot to us and she was a very memorable teacher. One time she put on a play and I was a Shirley Temple Doll. Had to bend over and say Mama. I was scarred. My dress was blue satin home made too. When I went to school our neighbor picked me up and took me the 2 or 3 blocks. I always came home at noon to eat lunch and mother always had something to eat.
   
   We had an inner urban (Trolley) that ran from Champaign to Danville. Our big adventure was to get on for 25 or 30 cents, and ride to Danville to shop. Mother and I went about once a month. We usually got a sandwich at the Deluxe restaurant. It still stands in Danville. On Christmas we would go up to my Aunt Virginias office, where she worked for Mr. Huber. I think he was a lawyer. There was always a big Xmas parade. Virginia always took me places and even gave me her shiny bicycle. I finally learned to ride it and even went up town in it and got some oranges in the basket. On the way home I hit a bump and had to pick up a few oranges. Had lots of fun riding around the block. There wasn't much to do in Oakwood only ride my bike, or skate with my 3 girlfriends. In summer there was free movies to go to, up town. Our family carried our kitchen chairs up town or a blanket and watched the movies on Sat. night. We had a radio at home to listen to. My cousin had won it on the punchboard. Finally then we got a bigger one.
   
   Our Dad worked on the interurban railroad fixing and repairing the tracks. When it came a big snow they had to sweep the tracks off and keep them clean. He retired from the railroad later at 65. (worked for the Illinois Terminel and also for the CNI Railroad.) They did have a little hand car they rode between Oakwood and Ogden.
   
   Mother wrote for the Commercial New for 15 yrs. (Obituarias,and weddings, and gossip. Like Mr. and Mrs. John Hoskins attended a birthday party for Marilllyln Sue, and stuff like that.)
   
   Well then there was the day my girlfriend Joann decided I should drive my Dads car. So she says just get in and step on the clutch and put it in gear. I done just what she told me and away it went. Guess I must of been about 12. I had never drove and it started and slowed, cause I didn't have it in 2nd gear. Finally I got around the block. Here came a cousin Don Longsteth and ask if I needed help. He was 2 yrs younger. He had some experience with his dad. Any way he got it back in the right place, just about where it was. I figured I would get a whoopen, but just got a good talking to. My mom and Dad were just thankful I didn�t get hurt. (My girlfriend told this story in our Freshman year and just embarrassed me to death.) Course she got a A on her story.
   
   Sunday afternoon was always busy with a neighbor girl making popcorn and homemade fudge. Then we would always go see my Grandma Fox and mother would play songs on the piano. Sometimes Virginia played too and we could sing. Virginia taught me a few pieces on the piano.
   
   I loved to go to Virginias, as she had an old player piano, with all kinds of piano rolls to go in it. (Pretty Red Wing, was one I liked)
   
   On Sunday we would go to Edith and Dorothy, for dinner or just to visit. They had lots of Xmas dinners. Dads 1936 Ford had a rumble seat, which us kids like to ride in. Dorothy was a schoolteacher at the little country schools that I got to go with her and visit sometimes. She retired when she taught at Diamond School in Danville, Illinois.
   
   Dr. Snyder, lived just across the street from us. My little brother then Charles Donald was playing around and dragging a hoe. Somehow he ran it in his chest and knocked himself out cold. My Dad came running and started across the street to doc. In the mean time he woke up.
   
   My dad was a great carpenter. He built our baby bed and the playpen, me a doll bed and little table and chairs. Then when the depression hit, he built archways in peoples homes, for extra money. He built Longstreths and Davis�s homes.
   
   Well I had a good child hood. I graduated from high school and the last year met my husband John. He has been a very good husband for 53 yrs. now and maybe another 20 who knows. We have 4 wonderful children, Marilyn Sue and Jerry Dean, John Steven, and James Charles. Got several grand children too.
   
   Lets see Sherry, Ron, Linda, Troy, Amy, Tracie and Alex.
