Interesting thread.
Well, my paternal grandmother said that her family had it pretty good. I guess her dad worked for the railroad and that happened to be a depression-proof job.
My maternal grandmother mentioned living on a farm and how they brought eggs in to the market to be sold in exchange for staples. She didn't really say much about how relatively hard or easy they had it. I imagine they just made do.
