My mother has shared these stories. Despite having a father willing to do any work he could find they went to bed hungry on many occasions. That just breaks my heart. She lived in the west during the depression and I think it was harder in some of those areas. Others I know who lived in the south and on farms at least had food. I can’t imagine my grandparent’s pain at putting six kids to bed hungry. May we be 1/10 as strong as those who lived during that time.

Very cool story. My grandparents have shared a few stories about the depression, but more importantly, have passed on the values of hard work, saving, frugality, and thriftiness.

What a great story. It makes me wonder what such an entrepreneurial woman would do without a well.
