THE WAY IT WAS-Gene Barber
John and Molly
A Valentine Story
John was born John Calvin Crews. He came into the world, the Georgia Bend to be more exact, in 1880. Molly was Mary Ellen Chesser, born in 1871 in the edge of the Great Okefenokee Swamp. John was big, handsome, and from middle age on possessed of gleaming white hair. Molly was short, lean, big-boned, wrinkled as a prune since thirty, and never had one grey-hair in her 91 years.
When they married, folks all over Baker County, the Bend, and west Nassau wondered, "Why did John Crews want that old ugly woman?"
But they who questioned never understood things like love, patience, devotion, acceptance, and understanding. "John is my man," said Molly, "and keep yore damned hands off'n'Im."
John would sometimes look at his dark little wife who would be making ready for church or trading and comment, "Molly's got that hair screwed up so tight her eyebrows is pulled up to her hairline."
Molly worshipped her John and stated, "My John is purty." John would say, "Molly's got to pull them wrinkles apart 'fore she can powder 'em."
And they would spend hours together on the front porch over the newspaper and books while John taught his Molly how to read. Little by little he guided her through the fundamentals of writing.
All was not always humorous and pleasant. The seemingly mismatched couple had their difficulties, usually over John's drinking and Molly's stubborn streak. John enjoyed his liquor and often pitched a good one in his youth. Molly took to the fields and worked, secure in the knowledge that John would come home. Sometimes Molly would get the mulligrubs and stay on a silence binge for days, but John would go to and from work every day knowing his Molly would have supper waiting for him when he returned. In a few days he would kid her out of her bad mood.
Molly never knew how to cook for less than a log rolling. She experimented making pies out of yellow squash and had parched corn and acorns for coffe substitutes when times were hard. She used hog lard in her cakes and asked her company to "have some more of this ol' bread." She raised Poland-China hogs bigger than herself and could wrestle them to the ground if necessary.
John was an artisan who could fashion anything out of almost nothing. He created keepsake boxes which were beautiful and elegant in their simpilcity and scant touches of decoration. He made fascinating hooks and pegs from satiny finished tree limbs. His eyes were blue and the expression "twinkle in the eyes" had to be inspired by him.
John was reared In Nassau County and near Burton Ford on the Saint Mary's River. He attended Crews School near Bay Branch and received a surprisingly good education for nineteenth century Florida. His letters were painstakingly perfected and his converstions could be most formal.
Molly had spent a total of three hours in the Barber Bay School in 1878 (and that begrudgingly). She might have been persuaded, by her Pa to have remained longer but barefoot and natural Molly refused to wear shoes in class. Her teacher, "Ol' Man Stokes," insisted she be shod while in his school or punished.
"You try it, you ol' son (etc.)," she hollered. When Prfessor Stokes grabbed her arm for her switching, Molly soundly slapped him and ran out the door for home. Molly cleared the walk-plank over the ever-standing pool of water at the front door and when Professor Stokes hit the plank, she flipped him into the mud.
Professor Stokes insisted that Mr. Chesser whip Molly, and Mr. Chesser agreed that her sass and the dunking called for punishment. "But," he advised the teacher, "I can't believe the wearing of shoes has that much to do with how well the head learns. Molly was wrong in what she did to you, and you were wrong in wanting to whip her about not wearing shoes. I figure It's even."
"Pa never made me go to school again, and he let me go to the fields and do the plowing," Molly remembered almost three quarters of a century later. "And I didn't wear shoes again till I wanted to. And when I set my cap fer John Crews, I wanted to."
When John and Molly's first child was born, they were living at Mattox Crossing between Macclenny and Baldwin. It was a violent little community full of rough customers, and few were surprised when one of the Mattox boys shot and killed one of the Barber boys.
Molly, abed convalescing from the birth of her baby, turned her gaze out the window in time to be a witness to the shooting. The Fernandina-held trial necessitated a near sixty mile trip for Molly and her infant in a bed prepared for them by John in a wagon. There were no accommodations aboard the train for a bedridden new mother and infant.
Molly gave her witness in the Nassau County courthouse and returned home. The baby died soon after.
John and Molly laid the child's body to rest in Manntown Cemetery and soon were blessed with Jesse. This new child was the light of their life. One day Jesse was killed, believed to have been murdered and his body tossed onto a railroad to be crushed by a locomotive.
Molly picked up her son's brains and placed them in his lunch pail. She covered them with Jesse's straw work hat, took John's hand, and they went home. Molly and her John were made of sturdy stuff, and they continued...alone together...and in love.
