Sarah Elizabeth cuts her brothers hair

It was about this time when she took her younger brother, Frank, who was six years old and still had long hair, up to the mill where Alvin worked. (She could not stand the thought of having Frank start to school with long curls). Alvin cut Frank’s hair and she saved the curls for her mother. Her mother was very angry and some of her folks threatened to cut Sarah’s hair off. Her father intervened, so she kept her long, black hair.
