Haynes Kelley: "They were living in Woodward. That's of course where Tingham has all her fond memories of living in Woodward. And then, the story is the guy who ran the coke plant there, who was in charge of it, his son finished college and needed a job, and so they decided that the superintendent of the coke plant, the job that my grandfather had, was a job that had to be filled by somebody who had a college degree. And so they unceremoniously fired--let my grandfather go. But Tingham had scarlet fever, so they couldn't move for six months or a year. They stayed there with my grandfather not having a job, just living in company housing until they moved to Holly Court, which is up this way."
