Notes:
JBP: Wasn't sure who was the woman who sewed JC's buttons on; I went with the one Northern Negro Woman with whom he lived as man and wife. Best guess.
TMT: Conferred with JBP and decided the woman was Mrs. McEachern ("family wash" a tipping point). Changed dates to reflect dates Joe lived with McEacherns.
Summary:
Joe recalls that in the past "a woman," presumably Mrs. McEachern, used to wash and mend his clothing (107).
