My parents both born in 1918 worked harder than I can imagine. Daddy would plough behind a horse from early morning to noon. He would then take two hours off. He would eat lunch then rest for an hour then back to plowing or other strenuous farm work. Mother may have worked even harder.
Despite that, I can recall Daddy talking about Mother’s Father. He worked a thousand acre farm. Daddy thought his Father-in-Law was an even harder worker than he was. Grandpa Mac was born in 1865.
Well I meant to say that he would plow behind a horse. Not sure where I got plough.
