Study these pics & remember, these are REAL LIFE photos, NOT "staged" SHOTS!--I've BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!

Yep, we had kerosene lamps until 1951, not easy to do your homwork with those. We were amazed when we turned on the first 60 amp bulb. No wonder I have trouble driving in the dark. We had a dirt road in front of the house then they started oiling the road with a tar mix then spreading fine gravel to seal the tar so you could drive on it.

I did not have indoor plumbing until age 6 when we moved out of grandmother's house.
but when I see these pics, I have no room to complain.

Thanks for posting! I loaded a boat-load of old pics from a Farm Security Admin project on AHOOGA back in January. Your 'Fruit Tramp' was one of them, so we may have the same source - http://photogrammar.yale.edu/ . Priceless photos of a tragic time.
