C, THURSUDAY, OCTOBER ‘15, 1931 WIDOW AND FIVE CHILDREN LIVE |{GRANDMOTHER, 85, FACES IN CAVE, TAKING IN BOARDERS Small Sums Paid by Three “Roomers™ Buy Food to Go Along With Berries and Roofs. By the Associated Press. BLUEFIELD, W. Va., October 15.— The rocky, musty cave, deep in the West Virginia hills, where a widow and her five small children and three “roomers” had made their home for months, stood deserted today, while authorii®es sought “real” homes for the little ones and aid for the mother. Meanwhile bright-eyed, curly-headed Jesse James Hinkle, 1 year old, and Alice, 3; Albert, 6; Alma, 8, and Ulah, 10, munched warm food and wore new clothes in the care of probation officers. Mrs. Hinkle doesn't know what she'd have done had it not been for the fact that she found three unemployed men to board and “room.> They couldn't pay her much rent, of course, but with what little money they gave her she managed to buy some food to go along with the berries and roots they found in the mowuntains. W. T. Farley, McDowell County pro- bation officer, was trampling through the hills when he came the cave. Smoke was rolling from the hole in the hill. Going to the entrance, he found the woman cooking on a battered stove. ‘The cave, under a steep cliff, with jagged rocks for a ceiling and the bare ground for a floor, was divided into two compartments. In one of these was an old wooden bed. Boxes served as chairs and tables. Boards were the other beds. ‘The mouth of the cave was walled up with rocks, timbers and clay. But when it rained, Mrs. Hinkle explained, sometimes even the stones and the boards that served as a door falled to keep out the water. And as the leaves are falling, the trees no longer shelter the cave from the wind, and so Mrs. Hinkle readily consented when Farley said he would take the little ones “back to town.” Despite the hardships, the children seemed in perfect health, Farley said.
