Eyes are so precious

My storie will continue about Dad eyes and what happened after the accident.  After some time checking the damage,  they found out that one eye was gone but could see a little.  God saved him from death which could have happened.The telephone company was sued and had to give his 20,000 dollars.  Trading your eye for 20,000 dollars will never come out even with the loss of health.  This time was about 1926 or 1927.  I was about one year and one half when this happened.  Have picture with Dad and Mother holding me wearing his thick glasses.  Had to be in this time;  he did not have to wear glasses before the accident..How wood you get a job with one eye?  This was very hard times for to find a job.  People had to work almost for nothing.  The story was told that you would be payed 50 cents to shock corn for a day. also My brother in law said he worked for one dollar to work in the fields for one day! Also the farmers did not raise crops because they could not afford it.

My dad and mother lived with my grandparents from my birth to about 1930.  Thelma gave birth in 1928. We now had four in our family now..Things changed again as life does.  Grandad decided to buy a farm in Versailles, Ky.and do some farming.  Why not, he was a farmer some time back!  Let see now, they had five in their family and we had four.  In planning the cost, his house would help and someway he talked my dad to pitch in
his 20,000 dollars. They would both families live on the farm and raise crops for them.  Dad could not see very well and my grandad close to fifty.

Now comes the answer that will solve all the problems.  Nona, my dads sister, came up with a good idea.  Her husband would do the work that needy to be done.  Great! Great!  Now let us count heads now.  Five grandfather, four of us, and five in Nona family.  That counts to be fourteen to feed and make the payments of the farm.  Pay at time was about 50 cents for one day and 1.00 for a full days work.  Well you see what was coming!  They lost everything!  The house,  20,000 dollars and no where to go!  What will they do and where will they go.  This was about 1928 till 1930.  My sister Flossie May was born in 1930, at Versailles, Ky.  Now we had five in our family and what is the future for us?  What will we do?
