Show ANDERSON 12 A: Oh, I don't know, we did but you know we were so far removed from anything. W~ lived off the farm, but the depression hurt us because we'd borrowed money to pay for the farm, and the bank didn't want to renew it, the note, when it came drie. T: ·The mortgage? A: And they had, early in the Depression they had the white fly, destroyed the beet crops. Course everybody was raising beets then. T: Was this for the Utah and Idaho Sugar Company? A: Yes, yes, and my husband and several others turned their farms over to th.e bank.. T: I see. A: And left. We went to Midvale and lived for about two years or one year, then came back and rented a farm up in T: Wasn't the same farm though? A: No. T: You never did move back to that farm after? A: No, we moved to another one, though, in the same locality, about a mile away, and then when my grandmother died, that was this Mrs. Holly that had ·raised me, her husband died and when she died of course, I got the farm out .there. It was arranged by a will so that I would get it and this house later. T: This house that we're in now. A: This house that she had built in here and moved into. T; When did she build this home in Corinne? · ·~ A: Oh, about 1930, I'd say 3 to 4. T: My goodness, right in the middle of th.e depression she build· the home. A: Well, a little later I guess. But you were able to get quite a few· things. It was just money that was tight. She had her brother-in-:law build it and that helped h~r a lot. |
