A friend’s dad spilled herbicide on himself while loading a sprayer and his mom drove the dad into town to the county hospital (W Texas).
He died that day and the family took him back to the ranch for burial in the family plot.
This was about 1976. What was considered normal was changed by state laws.
No one has ever seen the Texas movie Places In The Heart?
About 1973
