My first school years were spent at Bracey Elementary School which was located near the present Birnie Elks Lodge on Highway 15 South (Highway 15 and Lewis Road). I attended Lincoln High School in Sumter, South Carolina. With no transportation, I walked seven miles twice daily, until one evening I stopped and stayed with my mother’s cousin, Edith Amos Cooper, who lived in Sumter. This made it conveniet for me to get a high school education and work in Sumter after school.
