Q: If the community was so close knit, how come no one intervened in the Lawson Family's problems?
A: In the community back then everyone helped everyone else whenever one of the members in the community needed help. They took food, and firewood to anyone in need, they gathered at the cabins when a death occurred and prepared the bodies and built the caskets, dug their graves, buried them, helped birth their babies, loaned each other money, paid that money back, etc. etc. They took care of each other from the moment of birth until the moment of burial. But the one thing they did not do was intervene or get involved in a neighbors personal problems or the private areas of another family's life.
