My grandfather says they were very poor but they had enough to eat (lived on the farm). They raised a cellar full of extra potatoes to give to the starving people during winter.
At that time, deer were virutally extinct in the area, and he tells a story about finding a deer print and how everyone nearby came to see the deer print.
