Description
In this interview, Mrs. McGinnes is drawn into a discussion of her parents and the things she can remember about family life and farm-working from when she was a young girl, living in rural Wayne county. Later in the interview, Mrs. McGinnis talks about living in Huntington, rearing her children, and other of her various domestic responsibilities. She also speaks of the way several national events, such as the 1929 depression and WWII, affected her life and the lives of her family.
