James Henry Eason with his brother John Bryant Eason in the tobacco fields

 
 
Tobacco was a product that many farmers in the Johnson County, NC, area grew.
 
 
Carolyn Weeks Loftin (granddaughter of John Bryan Eason) remembers the only time she "worked" with tobacco.  On one of her visits to Papa and Mama Eason's house, she was allowed to "tie" tobacco.  There were 1 inch x 1 inch sticks and some twine.  She had to take a small bunch of tobacco leaves and wrap the twine around the ends, tossing that bunch to one side of the stick, then repeat the process, tossing the next bunch to the other side of the stick.  When the sticks were all wrapped, they would be hung in a tobacco barn to air dry.  She was never involved in any other process.
 
 
The 1940 Census shows the John Bryant Eason family still living in Wilders Township, Johnston County, NC.  John Bryant was 56 and working as a "Farmer" on the family farm that was valued at $2500.  Ida was 47 and son James Carolyn (spelled "Carylon" on the Census) was 11 and attending school.
