That is Daddy and Peaches Browning. She was his 16 year old child bride, he was past 50. He was also bats$#t crazy. She also had a mother who appears to have been as crazy as Daddy was.
The whole deal was a great scandal at the time.
The only place I still get paper sacks is at our local locker plant. They are poor enough as a sack, but then they have the audacity to put the little loop handles on them made of the same poor material. I only made the mistake of picking one up by the handles once.
It's a long term process. When we bought our current home it had been owned by the same family for 60 years. The old folks hadn't been able to keep up with it for some time. I told my wife that it would take us 5-10 years to get it reasonably close to where we wanted it to be. I don't think that...

My paternal grandparents were hill people who were not poor, but money was not available for wasting. My grandfather would pick out Christmas trees a few years in advance of the year of use. When he decided that it was time he would dig up the tree and transplant it into a large tub. After it...
Hence the reason for right to farm laws here in the U.S.
The nuisance lawsuits got completely out of control brought by people moving out into the hinterlands and being outraged by the noise, dust or sights and sounds coming from nearby farms that had been there for generations before the...
I have seen pictures of that same '58 wagon a couple of other places too.
