Amelia Perry - party lines and the art of quitting

Before there were private lines, several families would be connected to the same telephone line and a nosey neighbor

Amelia Perry recalled when she had a party line and how it was wise to not gossip over the phone cause you never know who’s listening in. She also talked about raising her family and how she has mastered the art of quilting.
