When my Mom was very young, pre dust bowl they lived in a shack actually on a well site.
Mom graduated in 1936, by then they lived on a farm just outside of Pryor Oklahoma and Granddad had a Barber Shop was the town Barber and owned and ran the local Sale Barn (Auction). When in HS my Mom did all the paperwork for the Sale Barn. She was also the homecoming queen.

My Dad swept up at the barber shop and hung around doing jobs for Granddad because he liked my Mom. He didn't marry her until after her first husband passed and his first wife passed.

Also understand Granddad played poker every Saturday night, and gave the winnings to Grandma the next morning to put in the Church offering plate. I learned to count playing dominos with Granddad and kept score on a cribbage board. He always seemed to know what I had without seeing my dominos. Remember we used to all have to get together and watch the Lawrence Welk show with him.
