Of the 13 children that Iree had with her husband, she says: "We all lived in this house together at one time. Back then, there wasn't a window, and there wasn't a door on the house. There wasn't a ceiling, and there weren't hardly no partitions. Eight boys from 18 on down stayed in the one room with two beds. In the girls' room, five stayed -- there was one big bed and a little cot. And Bass and me had a little bed in our room for the babies."
