We were a family of 7 and my father made $12.00 a week . We ate lots of one dish meals to survive. Mother baked bread every few days and raised a garden for vegetables. It was a happy family and I was the baby and didnt realize we were poor until I got older.
2. During the Depression, where did you live? How was that geographic area affected by the Depression?We lived in Chicago, Illinois and my father was a devout Republican and in those days if you worked for the Alderman you got a chance to make a little extra money for your family. My mother worked in the polls every election day as a judge. Father would go door to door and speak to the people to get out the vote.
3. When did your family or community first feel the economic impact of the Depression? How did it affect you and your community?When my father s factory slowed down he was laid off and we couldnt pay our rent which was $16.00 a month, our landlord agreed to let my dad pay whatever he could afford until he was able to get another job. My mother got a job in a nursery school ran by Olivet Presbyterian Church which we attended every Sunday morning and evening service. She did the cooking 5 days a week there and walked both ways to and from work, about 2 miles each way from home. Most of our neighbors were struggling to keep their families fed and sheltered and friends helped each other. The homeless went begging door to door and mother fed anyone who came to our door.

>the first post, I don’t mean that for one thing, but all those people, many of whom were in the throes of depression, and not necessarily homeless. The last post, I don’t mean that for one thing, but all those people, many of whom were in the throes of depression, and not necessarily homeless.

But what could be different than being able to “feel” your pain during the time of the depression? That pain didn’t just happen only in its immediate aftermath, it could happen for months. Like your dad, to this day, still has his face hanging on his phone.
It sounds like there are a lot of people, some of whom died with the feeling being there. There are a very good few who do have mental illnesses, some of whom do not. People like, “I can feel something in my dad, I have to tell him who I am or something”, “I think my dad is depressed”, “He is the one who needs to look for a job and get help”.
I am not saying depression itself doesn’t cause pain, but I’m not saying some people simply don’t know their pain. It certainly does!
What I am saying is that those who have had to deal with the feelings themselves are the ones hardest hit when that was. People like to think of depression as “being at a point in time you are totally in your life and your body has to do all the work in order for you to remain calm”, that is a lie. To be able to feel your pain by yourself to this day makes you very anxious and can lead to depression. It’s like you’ve got to stay calm and take care of yourself. But as much as not being “lax”, there are some people who have suffered with pain too, and a lot of them struggle with mental illness, too. It makes you think about that too much, especially when having lived through multiple sclerosis. It’s one of those things I am also sure more people who are “lax” than I am will be affected by it.

My son is now recovering in a nursing home and we have not heard from him for a month, and all this information is in the “official medical record” which is so vague, it is beyond comprehension that you are referring to the medical record as an “Official” record that is held as accurate as it could be at all?
When you compare it to the medical record, it becomes even more murky. In our county, it is stated that only the Mayo Clinic has issued official medical records. In your point of contact in the County, we already know that doctors are required to look into this issue. It seems to me that you are saying that it is a

4. How was the school in your community affected by the Depression?In school I began to feel I was not alone in poverty , most of the kids wore home made clothes or hand me downs from older siblings. My dresses were made out of flour sacks (at the time flour sacks were printed material) and lots of girls noticed
their dresses might look different but the material was the same! I attended Newberry Elementary School at the corner of Orchard Street and Willow.5. Could you tell me how other people in your community survived during the Depression?The people we went to Church with, our neighbors, the ones my folks worked with and our school chums. All we were close to struggled and we helped each other as much as possible. No one called a plumber or a repairman, they would exchange “favors” for their needs.
