Reel 1

0:00   Mary Jane Truman’s voice describes her brother, Harry S. Truman as a good farmer, who plowed the straightest row. She describes how he laid out the corn and wheat fields, that he kept books, and raised hogs. She calls him “just a good all around farmer, and proud of it.” This was probably used in the preparation for MP78-2, “No Greater Burden.”
