0:00   Ethel Noland's voice, describing Harry Truman's mother, Martha Ellen Truman. She says Mrs. Truman's father was a well-to-do man who was able to give his family advantages other children didn't have. If she (Martha) thought money should be spent for books, she spent it, sometimes at the expense of other things. She spent money for a piano and for music lessons.
