MS. ROSS: Where did you live in the wintertime ?

MR. EATON: On the boat.

MS. ROSS: On the boat?

MR. EATON: Oh yeah.

MS. ROSS: Docked here at Cumberland.

MR. EATON: Oh, yeah. We was the first boat, right above the wharf where they loaded them. That was our quarters there. Yeah, it was a regular favorite tying up place, otherwise.

MS. ROSS: How did you keep it warm in the wintertime?

MR. EATON: Oh, we had a stove.

MS. ROSS: Coal fire?
