Born in 1902 in a small Appalachian mining town, he faced tragedy early when his father died in a mine collapse. His mother worked tirelessly to support the family, and as the eldest son, he took on responsibilities at a young age, including cooking and fetching water. By ten, he was shoveling coal for ten cents a day. He dropped out of school in fifth grade to work full-time and apprenticed as a blacksmith by thirteen. At sixteen, he joined a traveling circus for a taste of freedom, but when it folded, he returned home and took various odd jobs, facing constant setbacks. In his early twenties, he ventured into entrepreneurship, starting with a roadside stall selling fried pies, but a new highway bypassed his town, leading to failure. He then opened a bicycle repair shop, which was destroyed by a flood, and later a gas station that succumbed to the Great Depression. His story is one of relentless perseverance in the face of adversity.
