Memories of rural life on a Pennsylvania farm in the early years of the 20th century. Although the topic is different, I've added (in 2009), my cousin's absorbing paper, "The Handicapped At Home." REMEMBER: To start at the beginning, you must click on the June 2006 section of the archives, go to the June 25th entry, then "scroll up" from there.

Afterword II: Dogs and Photos

Uncle Frank doesn't mention the domestic animals that were as much a part of farm living as cows and horses. Mom remembered a dog called "Hey You, Scram" because that's what he was greeted with when he first came around. In the old Byrne photo album I have, there's a picture of a dog, but with no identification.
All the photos in the album are, of course, in black and white, and all the early snapshots (as opposed to studio pictures) are very small, about two to three inches. Many are not captioned and the people and places they depict are simply lost in time.
