All Anybody Ever Wanted of Me Was to Work: The Memoirs of Edith Bradley Rendleman

by Edith Bradley Rendleman

Book Overview

From All Anybody Ever Wanted of Me Was to Work...

Starting around 1950, people stopped raising chickens, milking cows, and raising hogs. They just buy it at the store, ready to eat. A lot buy a steer and have it processed in Dongola and put it in their freezer. What a difference! Girls have got it so easy now. They don't even know what it was like to start out. And I guess my mother's life, when she started out, was as hard again...

Edith and I share common ancestors. It is very gratifying to read "how it really was" for so many of my ancestors in Southern Illinois!
