All were born at home with the assistance of the family doctor. Yes, he made house calls! The short stories in this book are memories of American mid-west family life on the farm in the 1930's during the Great Depression. The Jones homestead consisted of a small seven-acre farm. The house, called Jonesburg, was quite large and lovely, with a huge stained glass window overlooking the landing. It had three bedrooms, plus a finished attic that took care of the overflow of kids. The Jones family was most fortunate to have one real bathroom in the house, along with a well-used outhouse in their backyard.   Dedicated to my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren on this my 79th birthday, November 27th, 2003 Dottie Jones Scalzo On to the story - Chapter One  All Rights Reserved    Clip Art Credit: Phillip Martin Have a great year!
