    3. Yes, I agree with Delilah, It is very sad to see all the things that went on in our relatives lives. I have a slip where my Grandfather worked for Caretta Mines, in SWV, He only cleared $9.20 after working 80 hours in the 40's. His Gross Wage was $140.00 for 2 weeks pay. But by the time, they took everything out it was the $9.20. No wonder so many of the people back then Drank Moonshine.
