[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1987373, member: 91783"] Nope they had a home stead 60 miles north west of Douglas Wyoming out by the Bear Creek Stage Station . Granddad was born in 1901 in Missouri . Grandma was born in Kansas in 1913 . They each moved to Wyoming before they knew each other . Granddad was a farmer and Grandma had uncles here . They met and were married when she was 16 . Her Mom died when she was 12 her dad was a blacksmith and lived to be 101 . He was going to fix a leak in his roof and fell off the roof never recovered from it . Grandad's Dad was a bootlegger and moonshiner around St Joseph mo. . Even in the 40's and 50's there were a lot of people here that didn't have electricity . A lot of them did have gas refrigerators by then , you lit A pilot light and it heated ammonia to cause it to expand then as it contracted and condensed back to a liquid it cooled they even had a small freezer in the top of them , the cotton was pretty tall if you had one of them , and running water as well as lived 50 to 60 miles from town went to one room schools till high school .
