Way out in the middle of North Dakota. No Sears catalog, or if they had one, it was kept and used to order necessities, not for wiping their asses.
Same. Not sure of the chamber pots, but radio was run by a battery charged up by the windmill. My dad would sometimes have to climb up the windmill tower to reattach the windmill blades or wires. The 3 boys would sleep up a ladder in the attic, the 4 girls would sleep in a separet room and their parents would fold out a bed in what was the parlor or living room. I've been to that house back in 2000 (still standing) and my memory is 3 or 4 rooms including the kitchen. Most time was spent working the farm. My grandfather died in 1929 just after the depression hit and my aunt and her husband took over the farm until 1957. Grandmother and most of the kids moved east, the boys joined the CCC in the depression and the army in WW2.
