My mom was born in a farm in 1909. She grew up with no electric, no cars. Grandpa had a horse that pulled the plow on the farm. He lived to be 96. Even when I was a little girl we stayed at another relative's farm and they had one electric wire strung across the ceiling with a bare light bulb in the house, no phone, unpasturized milk, no indoor bathroom, and a hand pump in the kitchen for water.
