My dad's father was in the cavalry (when they were on horseback) and then was a blacksmith & homesteader. He married the schoolteacher who boarded with his parents. During WWII, they went to Washington state and worked in a shipyard where aircraft carriers were built. My grandmother was a welding inspector.
My mom's dad was a farmer; her brother fought in WWII and I think he later had a car dealership.
Both my parents had relatives who moved to Washington state during the 30s to get jobs picking apples. Some of the descendants still live in the area and work in the apple processing plants. But my dad's cousin did really well in business: he bought a McDonald's franchise.
