Re: What Life Was Like In 1906
Kygal and Toby,

You're welcome and since my grandparents were here in 1906, reading that didn't seem too weird to me. But it would to a lot of people. My grandparents third son, the one who died when he was a couple weeks old? It was from one of my grandpa's jobs, the man paid him in milk and it was from a different cow than the one he usually got paid from - something about the difference in the milk killed him. That wouldn't happen today.

On the other hand, my Dad had awful memorys of the depression! They sure noticed it and they were also poor. But being poorer again, with the depression I guess made a big difference in the lifestyle that they really didn't have much of to begin with.
