| Photos from Walt Samson |
During the War Years on the Ridge Rd. up in the Town of Veteran where I
grew up, the ladies actually had a surprisingly active social life. The
commonality of the group included the Grange, Home Bureau, the 21 party
telephone line and Dairyman's League.
There are a decreasing number of us who remember these ladies. The attached
photo has the names annotated on the reverse. Like most pictures of this
group, some faces are obscured and not all the local ladies were present.
I have other photos, and in due course plan to offer others to complete
the group.
Note the style. Most all wore figured dresses. This was the War era,
a time of sewing at home, often using the colorful feed bags that were
then popular, and a very practical source of fabric.

The kids in the picture all grew up on the Ridge and Middle Roads in
the Town of Veteran during the 30s. They dressed quite proper to accompany
their mothers to a Home Bureau meeting.
