Memory Lane

Someone sent me this photo and I have the name of the lady in the picture. How different wash day was long ago. This was near Snowball, AR. See the well and the well bucket! She had to 'draw' all her water, then heat it probably outside on a fire, then wash these clothes on a wash board. She has had to hang some of her wash on the fence. I also love the posts on the clothes line! She is wearing an apron and bonnet, too, just like all the ladies did in her time. I think this is from the 1920s or 30s.
