<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samclemens3991, post: 25223767, member: 82181&quot;]My grandmother raised 9 children through the depression Rushmore.&nbsp; However she had two factors in her favor.</p><p>The first is that when she got married at 16 she had a favorite aunt.&nbsp; That aunt gave her several dozen Seated coins (housed in a wooden glove box) as a wedding present.&nbsp; I got to see and catalog those coins for her and the best part was that many of them were Carson City coins.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Second.&nbsp; My grandfather was meaner than a couple rattlesnakes with their tails tied together but also shrewd.</p><p>He bought all the corn he could get at 3 cents a bushel and then held on until the gov. put in price supports.&nbsp; He cleaned up when he sold but like I said he was a mean one. He used that money to buy well over a dozen farms.&nbsp; Many from people who were suppose to be his friends.&nbsp; It is easy for me, or others, to judge but I still can&#039;t imagine doing that.&nbsp; James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
