“We still have people living lifestyles like in the 1700s, up in Pennsylvania and Ohio.”

My grandmother was born on a remote farm in Norway around 1885. So I’m guessing like the 1700’s. Although she probably saw a steam boat on the fjord, but no electricity, cars, etc.

She lived until 1983 so saw men on the moon. She always said she had lived during the most remarkable time on earth. It is pretty amazing what had transpired during that time.

We have a photo with 5 generations and the great great grandfather holding me. He was born in 1862 and missed the moon landing by a few months. Still really weird to consider the change he experienced.
