Blast From the Past Number 3

Another blast from the past. Here are some photos of the Page family members back in the 1930 - 40s. It truly is amazing to see the difference from then to now. Most of these were all taken on the family farm.

Here are some interesting things that happened in the year 1938, when Rob's dad was 1 year old.
"Superman burst onto the comic book scene, and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" made its debut as the first full-length animated feature." - The Great Depression, World War II and the 1930's
Just a bit of history for that year. I have read many sad stories about this time in history due to the great depression, I wanted to add in something that was upbeat from that time.

The cow was not satisfied with the hay that her owners gave to her. She must have gotten out of the pasture. Time to get the last scraps that were on the hay wagon.

Back when these photos were taken it was too dark in the houses to take pictures. They would bring the chairs outside and take the pictures outside. Many pictures I see of people they are standing in front of a vehicle.

This is Rob's aunt. She must have been going out to a special event. She looks cold posing for this picture in the snow. Do you remember the old bonnets that women wore? By this time in our history, the bonnets were getting smaller.

This photo was taken in 1938. This is Rob's grandfather, grandmother and his dad. This is his dad's first birthday. His dad was the oldest child in a family of six.

Digging the car out of the snow. It must have been warm, they don't have any coats on. What a nice old car! This car was from the 1920's. So we are guessing that they had the car in the 1930s. This car in its prime would go 40 to 45 miles per hour. They had a fuel economy of 13 to 21 miles per gallon. My have things changed!
