Caption: Part of Ms. Catherine's House sign
Additional Description: A tin-topped table holds a water bucket, wash basin, and lye soap. Ms. Catherine told how she made lye soap by mixing "old scrap grease what you fry chicken and fish in" with lye and water. Ms. Catherine always set up her ironing board on two chairs, close to the fireplace. When the iron that she was using got cold, she would exchange it for the hot one from beside the fire.
