An interview with Tera Crawford Huffman

Tera: I know a lot about my grandmothers family from Longtown. Her maiden name was McCown; her parents were Almina and Chalmer Okey. Almina’s maiden name was McCown. I haven’t researched a lot. That’s one of the reasons why I am here and hope to learn more from all of the objects everyone else brought. My great grandfather Chalmer Okey created a lot of rag rugs, which we brought–that’s one of the items that we brought–and a couple of articles. My grandmother was interviewed several times by the local newspaper about Longtown, so we brought those articles to hopefully help other people with questions that they have.
