      Also, sadly, it is possible the start to the rule of thumb. His cane was no wider than his thumb.

    There was no such thing as child labor laws, until 1916. So it wasn’t uncommon for kids to be forced to work. The majority of the time they were put in very dangerous situations. My great, great, grandfather started working for the coal mines in West Virginia at 9 yrs old. I can’t imagine how hard life was for him.

      Yes! My grandmother ( born in 1918) who was raised in the Ozarks in MO. She said that she lived in town but the country kids were only in school during the winter and the rest of the time they had to work on the farms

    My dad was the smartest man I knew and had to start working at a young young age but finished school at a later date - Also the kindest man I knew and stands to this day. Love your reactions Lewis 😊

    He certainly lead a lucky life lol

    Back in the day, you graduated from school in the 6th grade. A bit later, it was the 8th grade (my Mom's father had an 8th grade education which was as good if not better than today's 12th grade "participation award"...). You were reading and writing in the 2nd grade. A skill that was honed over the next 4 years. My Dad's father went to college during WWI, and in order to get in, part of his entrance exam including basic Latin. My granddaughter taught herself Japanese, challenged the college course, and passed. I skated in high school but passed all of the AP (advanced placement in today's lingo) courses (advanced math for all 6 years or 12 semesters of post grade school; Honors Physics; Advanced Chemistry; American History and World Affairs; which is why I had to drop orchestra after the 8th grade; take typing and driver's education during the summer... just not enough hours in the day). Classes were dumbed down in the 1960s and that decline has gone extreme today. One California school district will graduate you with a score of 24% on your final exam!

    He may not have won election back then and suffered the brunt of jokes by being appointed deer whisperer, but he’s made up for it by being reincarnated as the current president of the United States 😂
