We used a spring here. Had to walk down about 25 ft. from the edge of the pasture and about 100 yards from the house. One way in and one way out. Banks are so steep can't walk on 3 sides of it. This spring still runs today. Kept milk,butter milk, watermelons and canteloupe in there. In the winter that's where I watered the mules about 30ft. below the spring. Every day before I went to school.
We didn't get power till 1948. My Dad had a new tractor after WWII(Army intelligence, south pacific 4.5 years) and he used it to pull the line down our highway. Most of it was pulled in by mules. Half the length of the road by my house was paved in 1951 and the other half in 1987. My Dad said he saw the main road being built (RT. 40) by prisoners with pics and shovels and ball and chains in 1931.
We had running water in the house in 1952 with a shower in the basement. Got the bathroom added in 1968. I was in the 4th grade before I saw an indoor bathroom.
