Hollar and her husband, Glenn Hollar, describe their childhood
in rural North Carolina and their working lives in the glove
industry and elsewhere. The Hollars grew up in large families in
which everyone had to contribute to eke out a living. As a
married couple, the Hollars spent most of their lives near
Conover, North Carolina, moving from job to job and weathering
the 1918 influenza epidemic, the Great Depression, and hostile
supervisors before reaching retirement. In this interview, the
couple shares recollections about laboring and rural life in the
early twentieth century.
