- FARM BUSINESS
- On father's farm, tenant houses would be rented for free. Would have about six hired help at times. Local men would be hired help, not enough farms for everyone. No hired help on her farm, had the children. Oldest son Eric would help out with the chores around the house and farm by driving the tractor and helping with the livestock.
