    My grandpa was raised in Barneston (born in 1934...he's a Winslow and there was a lot of them in Nebraska at that point 😂) His family were mostly poor farmers who first came out here when they started settling Nebraska in the 1800s. These pictures were fascinating to look at!

    My grandparents raised 9 kids during the Depression on a farm in rural Wisconsin. Looking at the photo of Mrs. Renninger and her son at 10:34 reminds me of my grandmother's saying, repeated to me by my mother, that "if I don't have 800 quarts of preserves put up by the time the snow flies, I won't make it through Winter." Until I saw this photo, I never really believed that saying. Grandma had more than half an acre of kitchen garden. I can't imagigine how much work it took to put up 800 quarts of preserves using a wood stove as your heat source. Of couse, she had lots of young helpers, at least when they weren't in school.

    My father and his two brothers were born in Lincoln, Nebraska in the 1920s. The family moved to a farm in northwest Kansas during the Depression only to have encounters with Dustbowl conditions. Throughout my childhood we would take occasional summer "vacations" to visit relatives in Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota. These photos are a great glimpse into conditions a decade or two before our forays into many of the same places. I always wanted to kiss the ground when we got back home to our place 7,600 ft. high in the Rockies.

    My Dad was from Nebraska, born 1917. His stories of growing up there shed a different view compared to what I was taught in school. The Dust Bowl and the Great Depression really took its toll on the area. He had old photos of the area from different years, one showing workers standing on top of snow drifts bending over to work on the power lines. Another one I remember showed a house almost completely buried in a drift, a huge dust or dirt drift. Some were photos of WPA Workers he worked with or knew well. I no longer have these photos but another family member does. I'll see if I can get ahold of some and submit them if I can.

      @@jaynenewcomb2094 My Dad's Stepmother(Grandma Winnie) lived in Nebraska her whole life. She was 2 weeks shy of 110(born April 1, 1878) when she passed away in March 1988. I loved listening to her stories, as well as all of my other elders. My peers grew up watching Westerns on TV, I grew up hearing the stories straight from people who actually lived it. It always baffled my History Teachers when I could detail most historic events after the early 1880s with ease. What made it even better for ME.....Grandma Winnie was a retired History Teacher with a PhD in Mathematics. With her and all of my other elders, along with all of the shoe boxes full of photos, History was a cinch. lol Most of Dad's stories about Nebraska involved Grand Island and Hastings, the 2 closest "big" cities to his hometown. He also spent a lot of time with family in Kansas, too.

    I used to have a '45 model of that Farmall M tractor, sold it to a farmer a few years ago when I bought a newer Kubota tractor. As far as I know it's still running and doing occasional work around the farm. Those were some VERY well built tractors, and there are probably thousands still running.
    There also appears to be a toy truck sitting on the hood of the tractor for some reason.

    My mother was a child when they packed up and moved from Quapah OK to Oregon in about 1934. She said that as they were crossing the Rockies, the brakes overheated on their overloaded car (probably a Model A) and came close to going over the edge. I can see how that could happen pretty easy, because when living in a flat area, who thinks about brake fade...
