Oral History
Eugene Farrar - Family support (clip)
Interviewed by Kathy Atwater and George Barrett on March 11, 2023
Eugene Farrar (EF): My family was a very large family, and we sacrificed, and we would help each other, give each other – if you raised a garden and you had peas, string beans, potatoes, and somebody else raised a garden that had cucumbers, tomatoes, and something else, we would exchange. If you had an abundance of stuff, you would exchange it. Corn, stuff like that, but I think my family was hardworking, and it was a lot of us. My father’s grandfather – his father had 17 kids. That’s what I learned. I could imagine how it was.
