My grandparents started before WW1. I was the lucky one to grow up with one Grandparent in a country store, lived upstairs and had a half bath. Heard many stories around the coal stove about how hard life was back in the day and great it is in the '50s.
My other Grandparent had a farm. No bathroom, no tv or radio and the Great Grandparents lived in the same home. Great stories on how hard live was to them.
They all thought the '50s was the best time of their life!
