My Grand-dad told me the REA came through our home area (south central Michigan) in 1934, the same year I was born. I asked him about it because I one day noticed there was a concrete pedestal in his garage by his '34 Ford where he told me the old Delco electric DC generator outfit had been mounted. Grand-dad's big house that was completed in 1901 had a DC electricity system and wiring with the power generated by this generator. Grand-dad's big house (4800-5000 sq. ft.) was "state of the art" at that time with electricity, running water and central heating system. They used it all having had 10 children. I remember nearly everyone having "high line" electricity back as early as 1938, but a house my parents and I lived in in the early 1940's got "wired" in 1944 so I do remember a little bit about living without "juice". I still have the Sears Silvertone battery operated AM radio that was in our house when we lived there.
