Miriam is the sixth of 6 children born to Eddie & Elaine Simelton and was raised on a farm in Tiplersville , MS. Somewhere around the age of 6 is when she recalls being introduced to life on the farm. Growing up on the farm was really a learning experience and taught her lesions that she really didn't realize what was being instilled in her at the time. Miriam says that growing up on the farm taught her discipline, perseverance, patience and commitment, just to name a few of the character building traits that was instilled in her at a very young age. On any day on the farm, particularly in the summer. She could be found along with her siblings , Bernard and Deborah, hoeing cotton, picking peppers & cucumbers, and helping to harvest the gardens and truck pathes or gathering peaches , pears, and plums from the orchard. shelling peas, and butter beans were also a any day on the farm chore. Fall brought on different chores such as harvesting potatoes, stripping sorghum, harvesting dried corn for the farm animals. bailing hay, and the chore that she absolutely disliked with a passion, PICKING COTTON!!! Even though all of her siblings swore that she did not do much work, that aLL she did was eat up the pork & beans, vienna sausage,, crackers, moon pies and drank the cold iced water that their mother had put in a mason jar and wrapped in layers of newspapers to keep it cold, Miriam's answer to them was that "she did according to her ability", The late fall and early winter months brought on one major event "Hog Killing!!! This was really a big day on the farm.. It seemed to Miriam that ALL of the surrounding neighbors came to their home to help , and at the end of the day every family left with sausage, ham, ribs , or shoulder or some part of Porky! Most of the remainder of the meat would go to the "SmokeHouse" where Miriam's Mpm would go on a cold crisp winter morning to cut off a piece of meat that had been salted down for preservation or tp get some cracklings ( Fried pork skins) to make a black cast iron skillet of hot crackling buttermilk cornbread. The milk came from jersey cows that they milked, churned the milk. and also got the butter from, Miriam got married and moved away from her childhood home!
