Sweet story. You made her day and more.I know how she feels. At 73 and as a preemie born before NICUs I suffered eye damage and now complications. Knowing this was a possibility I began collecting audio books sometime ago.

People outside cities lived very similiarly until after WW2 when farming became mechanized.

My mother remembers her great grandfather in the 1930s when she was a little girl. He was in the Civil War and looked like a skinny version of Colonel Sanders with a little white goatee. He was 92.

My ancestors fought in both wars and at least one was a child during the Revolution and served in the Civil War. It's amazing to think of we aren't that old.

Lol! My grandmother,a farmer's wife, in rural Missouri in the 1930's was washing clothes in a boiling huge kettle over a fire in the backyard.Then scrubbing them,then rinsing,then hanging them on the line in all kinds of weather. Until she traded a little pig to a traveling peddler for a down payment on a gas powered washing machine. One with the roller on top. My grandfather was reportedly horrified at such waste of a pig!

@simongreenwald446 I bet their morals were higher back then. Learning from elders is how societies share their values. Look around you. Does it seriously look this generation is educated? Or moral? And trust me book smarts means nothing without virtue.

@simongreenwald446 Some things have to be learned.

Life was hard in the so good old days. My great grandma was born in 1892 and married at thirteen. Her last child was only three years older than her first grandchild, my Mom! No hospital births just at home too and no anesthiasia. Yikes!

My great great grandfather was in the Civil War. He was only seventeen. He lived until the 1930's. My mother remembered seeing him at 92. A tiny little man with white whiskers and a goatee as a child at her great aunt's home his eldest daughter with whom he lived. His doctor made him give up snuff at 90 as it was bad for his health so he took up gum chewing. My mother and her cousin plied the old gentleman with gum as it made his little goatee bob up and down almost to his nose. They thought this was hilarious until Aunty caught them. Lol!

I have old tin types of my great great great grandmother, her daughter and son in law my great great grandparents taken in the 1860's. Interesting the fashions back then for ladies. So many layers of clothing and in hot weather too.

Amazing he lived that long back then. When researching my family history I was shocked at the poor babies that some couples lost. One cousin and her husband had five listed as infant child of...the poor little babies lived only a day or so. The Catholic Cemetary in Savannah has an old part where little babies are buried.

@deaths1390 Trans,etc can't reproduce. Their BS will be a memory. Cruel but true.

Five dollars a week was good pay back then. A dollar went a lot farther in the late 1800's too. I saw a grocery list for the 1930's in my great grandmother's old purse calling for 10 cents worth of beef!
