And people think they have it so bad today!!
This is a picture of Clemence Gourneau. She was born in 1847 to Joseph (Souza/Kah-isig-ewid) and Judith (Delorme) Gourneau. He was the grandson of Chief Wild Rice and Clemence was the maternal granddaughter to Turtle Mountain Chief Kah-ishpa Gourneau (1817-1917).
The Louis Riel Institute includes a copy of her 1943 obituary; she died at age 96 and was known as Grandma Berger.
Clemence married Isaie Berger in 1870, when she was 23 years old, and they were blessed with 12 children. Her obituary notes that she "was not fortunate in having much schooling, but at that she was a bright and industrious woman: was very keen about telling her early life and how she came to settle in the Judith Basin" in Montana.
In her early years, they roamed the prairies of Montana and the Dakotas, following the buffalo trails with no thoughts of settling down. She noted that they endured many hardships - not being able to find buffalo or other game, and occasionally even water was hard to find. "Yet somehow, we were all happy and with all our miseries we never heard any complaints."
They finally settled down near Chinook, Montana, near the Milk River.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom... but a busted model T will get you every time... 
The caption was West Virginia, 1938. There was a statement about coal mining... he must be on his way to work, miners don't look like this coming home.
... Nobody notices the kid with daddy's pipe?
Are those potatoes on the roof? Odd place to store them if so.
The best way is covered with pine straw... unless you have free range chickens! Then you have to keep them somewhere safe. I've seen them on roofs when I was a kid. That was always the reason.
Apparently they are good at making kids, so if that one dies............ Nobody notices the kid with daddy's pipe?

He a little young, he will get his own pipe when he is eight or nine years old.
It's never too young to learn to load and smoke a pipe... Nobody notices the kid with daddy's pipe?
When my dad was later in years and seeing new docs, when they would ask him if he smoked he would say, “I quit when I was 12” and meant it.

Anybody besides me remember the sparks from the strap at the top of the pole to the ceiling?
