My father used to say, "What was so good about the 'good old days'? The outhouses? The wood stoves?"... and he would go on.

I look at this 1936 photo and the hard work of these women brings what he said to mind. These are the Walker sisters, ginning cotton in front of their log cabin in Little Greenbrier Cove, Tennessee. Two are turning the wheels and it looks like the third is feeding the cotton through the gin. I bet that they were hot, dusty, and tired!

Old family photos like this provide us with a glimpse into what everyday life was like and reminds us that 'the good old days' sometimes weren't as good as we like to remember.

Dave Van House It certainly is. For 5 years, I washed clothes for a family of 4 on a scrub board and with a hand-cranked wringer because when the wash machine broke, we couldn't afford a new one while we were paying off our land.

I split wood and heated with a wood stove for nearly 30 years, both before and after my husband died. I had a large garden with no power equipment...just a hoe, rake, and shovel, raised my youngest son alone and homeschooled him, and tended chickens, and held a part-time job. I lived without a/c or dishwasher, without a vacuum or dryer and I cooked from scratch (still do).

I now have arthritis in nearly every joint. I hurt with every step and have to use a cane. I'm nearly 74 now, but my body feels like it's at least 90.

But even with all that, I didn't work as hard as these women did...or even as hard as my mother or her mother did...and I am luckier than these women.

Hard physical work...the kind of hard work the women in this photo did...will destroy a body. These women worked from the time they got up in the morning until they went to bed at night...every day of the week. That kind of work raises the risk of dying from strokes, hypertension, and heart disease.

(By the way, too much exercise can also kill a person.)

That’s what my Mom would say, too. She grew up on a farm with a well to draw water from, kerosene lamps, wood stoves, outhouses and had to do farm chores before she went to school and afterwards - just to survive.
After listening to her stories, I’m so thankful for modern amenities. ♥️

Edwin - Yes, my Dad’s parents didn’t either. He grew up in a shack on the river. His living conditions were very sparse and they were quite poor.
My Mom realized she was blessed to live on a farm and in a much better situation than my Dad.
They met and married in their 20s and raised us in a working class neighborhood. We were well provided for and I know I’m blessed to have been raised and loved by two hard working parents, who loved me. ❤️
I have great respect & admiration for people who’ve made the best of everything they had and survived hard times. 🙂💜

My paternal grandad was a farmhand, too. I remember my Dad telling me he made $1 a day, I think. There were 9 kids. My Dad’s older brother became a farmhand on a dairy farm and, I believe, he worked as one until he retired.
I loved listening to my parents, grandparents, Aunts & Uncles tell stories of their childhood and how they each chose their trades, as they grew up.
I truly admired them all. ❤️🥰

Donna Rhodes, we have a cottage well north of Toronto in Canada. We had fun visiting one winter when the furnace was out due tobe switched from oil to propane in the Spring. No water was drawn into the the cottage.
We joked it was a wooden tent with hydro.( the only perk ).
We used an auger to drill into the lake or melted snow for water, heated it on our cast iron woodstove. Used our outhouse with a Styrofoam seat cover in -20 to -25 Celsius Temps. Not sure what that converts to in Fahrenheit.
Doable but labour and time intensive especially to clean and cook.
My kids were older and we often thought that generations past had no hydro and no way out of the work and planning to survive a cold winter.

"The Good Ole Days" is nothing more than a romanticism about an idealized past that never existed.

It's in the same vein as how people refer to their political ideology that they have in their minds as "our country".

Maureen Fedarb actually, not always. I’ve read some diaries of women “pioneers” in the nineteenth century, and they often suffered greatly at the hands of spouses who were stupid, uncaring, or irresponsible. Likewise, wagon train leaders who were unscrupulous. I was surprised , because we usually hear of these pioneers as being strong and virtuous and courageous. No t always. I suspect people are a mixed bag at any time in history.

A hand up and help when needed. It wasn't meant to be a way of life. I was and am proud of my family. It was hard work. We didn't have running water or central heat and air conditioning. We had open windows and fans. We were grateful. You need to be mindful of your preconceived ideations.

They are some of the wealthiest businessmen in the world (think Waltons, Musks, Trump, Manchin, Pelozi,Langone, Bezos, etc) as well as corporations such as Delta, Exxon, U S Steel, every car manufacturer, and on and on and on. and if you think these groups did not take governmemt so called subsidies and assistance back in your so called good old days, you need a history lesson. Check out the biographies of Roosevelt, Carnegie, Frick, Heinz, etc etc etc. Just quit whining and generalizing. cheats and users have always existed but so also do great, hard working people who pull their own weight. your family wasn’t any better than any other honest one

My grandmother was born in 1904 on a farm in Kansas, with no electricity or running water. She was the oldest of 9 children. In the 1920's, the entire family moved to California where life wasn't quite so hard. But then the Depression and WWII hit. They all worked hard and saved every little penny and scrap of paper. I learned a lot from my grandma about being frugal and enjoying the simple things life has to offer

I read these comments about how hard life was then. And then you died.
Well that is true it was a hard life and then you died. The same is true today. No matter your work,or your ease . You live and you die. You might spend most of your time on your cp,instead of shaking cream in a jar to make butter.
But the Good Old Days were good, comparatively.

We have gotten away from our Godly heritage. Playing games instead of working might seem easier,and even better to some. But whatever we do ,we still die. That hasn't changed. Perhaps prolonged a little. But that is all.

Lots of games out there. The Gospel does not change . We still have a saviour .The same today, tomorrow, and forever.
If you haven't received Christ as your saviour. I hope you do.
If you have a bible. Ephesians 2:8-9 is a good read. Only 2 verses. Yet tells you alot.

Joan Kuper they were told that if they smiled for the picture, they would look crazy. If they wanted to look respectable, they thought they should look serious. I've seen a few pictures from that time of people smiling and they were right; sometimes they do look crazy. 😁 They didn't focus as much on having fun like we do now, but they did find ways to have fun. Sometimes doing work was turned into a party, like having a corn husking party or a barn raising with a dance after it. Some people believe the serious faces were due to the long exposure time but by 1936 that wasn't necessarily true since the exposure time was a lot shorter than it had been in the 1800's. Regardless, they were strong hard working people for sure.

It did not take that long to take a photograph back then -- and there are photographs with smiling people. Before there were photographs, there were paintings and drawing -- nobody is smiling in them. Indeed, today when you see people smiling in a painting, it looks a bit creepy. In early photographs, it seemed normal not to smile. Unlike today, when we are trained to burst into a smile whenever a camera is pointed our way.

Heather Walden no it still isn’t more stressful than in the days of yore. Stress took their toll on people in the old days more…especially when bad weather, bugs, droughts killed the food in your garden which you needed to get you thru the winter or next meal. When a father, mother or child died when every family depended on each family member to survive all
the necessary chores; when a valuable & necessary animal died on the farm especially a cow, horse or oxen died…a very severe & expensive loss; when bed bugs, mosquitos, flies, bees drove one crazy just trying to get a decent nights sleep because there were no such things like window screens; when you had to clean out the outhouse; when water tasted like rust or smelled because of the well being located too close to the outhouse; when unexpected bills racked up and no money could be had during unexpected emergencies…not to mention painful health issues, lack of doctors, painful births and the possibility of dying during childbirth. NO life was not less stressful
than today…with some common sense & personal responsibility…we can often solve many of the “stressful issues” that impact our lives in America today.

Just a fist full of generations ago our families went through this every day. They did this to survive and hopefully so their children would have something, anything to hold on to. FF to today…We are spoiled, selfish and greedy. We demand the right to insert ourselves into other’s lives. We demand the right to do as we damn well please. We have indulged our children and then expected those indulgences to become babysitters. We work long hours to obtain more “things” as we ignore the true needs of our families. There are some exceptions to any and every point stated here. We all need love. Our children need their parents to parent. We do need fail safes for this who fall between the cracks. I don’t have answers to much of anything. I just know we are killing others trying to get our own way. “That ain’t no fair way to fight a war.”

I was born in 1936! I remember those times still. My mother died before I was 5 and we went to live on our grandparents farm. I remember helping in their very large "victory" garden, planting, hoeing, and harvesting. Then helping grandma canning over an old wood burning stove and preparing the root vegetables for storage in an old dirt cellar for eating over the winter. I remember skimming cream from milk direct from the cows and churning butter. And I remember my dad enlisting in the Army, becoming a paratrooper (Golden Unicorn Unit), and shipping overseas in WWII. Hard times, hard living, but we survived ... and at 86 in a matter of days, I still look at these as "the good old days!"

People grew up learning that everyone worked everyday of their life, and eat what was on the table to eat, when, and if, there was food on the table. We mended torn clothes, that were made from feed sacks, and darned socks, when they got holes in them, and there weren’t any vehicles to worry about gas prices, but we had to feed and care for horses or mules, to use for plowing and to haul the wagon to town for supplies, hauling in the cans of milk, vegetables from the garden, and fresh eggs to the store to trade for supplies. It was life in the 1930’s and 40’s from the depression through the Second World War. But we did not know we had a hard life at the time. Everyone was real. They would wave to each other, smile when they met, and always had a kind word to say, and would gather up what they could spare, and cook all kinds of food to take and give to those that were not able to get out themselves, when in church the preacher would tell of someone that needed help. And neighbors would gather at their home to sing hymns and join in prayer to lift up the spirits when they were down. It was life. We lived it day by day with love and shared life with each other. We did not know times were hard at the time. Even when we heard on the news on the radio, words from a speech about us being attacked, and said this day will go down in history as a day in infamy. We knew that our president was calling all Americans together to help the Country do whatever we could to defend America. We all started saving everything. Pieces of string became balls of string that grew in size, and the tin foil from chewing gum became large balls of shiny metal. The leather, rubber, and most everything was in need for our military. We took shoes and boots to have the soles and heals replaced when they became to worn. And the government stoped the greedy with price control for rent, and interest on the money, and we got ration books of stamps for those tires for vehicles, and shoes and other necessities. We all had blackouts, to hide from the planes, so the enemy would not be able to find their way. We had air raid sirens often, to warn of approaching planes. And our planes flew bombing runs in the Gulf of Mexico for submarines. But it was all just a part of life at the time. But everyone joined to support our Country. Even the women replaced the men in the shipyards, so the men could go off to war. Back at that time, I cannot remember anything like politics of today. Can’t imagine one man could turn the whole Country against each other, like the reverse of our president that called everyone in the Country together back during the Second World War. Maybe times are harder now than they were back then. Seems like you can hear lies about almost everything, if you just listen to different radio or tv stations. And people have been turned against each other and taught not to trust anyone, and they even talked some into storming the seat of our democracy, trying to overthrow the government. So I guess the times are much harder now than in the 1930 and 1940’s, in a way. I know that I have seen times when life seemed normal, and have lived to watch life become a potential fear of which of the country’s will try to attack us first. After seeing the Trade Towers fall, and Oklahoma City bombing, life was much simpler when everybody was real and life was simple and we could rely on our president to take care of America, and not disrespect him, or the flag, or each other. Maybe our life can get better. But I don’t see politics doing it. If we don’t go back to loving our neighbor and helping each other, and not trying to make everyone live the life we want them to, to follow one or more religious beliefs against their will, and trying to make all of the women accept men that vote to take away rights they all fought so hard to win, it will not get better. Each person has the same rights under our constitution, but those rights only extend to the border of the next persons rights. You cannot infringe on their rights and they can’t infringe on yours, anymore than climbing over a neighbors fence to take his chickens for your fried chicken dinner, even if you use the excuse, because his rooster wakes me up and I can’t sleep. If you take his chickens, he can’t collect the eggs they lay for him. So be kind to all neighbors, and it is better to love thy neighbor, and be kind to each other, so we can all see our country get back together again. We will all need that if our president needs to tell us again, that we need to unite to defend from another country’s attack.

The good ol days? When women were property? Unable to think or make decisions for themselves without a male kin (if not husband then father or brother or next MALE kin) When anyone not lilly white was a second class citizen? When women couldn't vote? When people of color had to walk miles for a "colored" water fountain? Has separate schools, churches, separate everything? When crosses were burned on the front lawn of people of color because they 'dared' to move into a 'white' neighborhood? Let's not forget when crowds of whites came out to scream hatred at a poor six year old black student just trying to go to school. Where every parent pulled their kid from the class so they wouldn't have to go to school with a black kid. Who had to have ARMED POLICE ESCORT just to go to and from school? Y'all can keep your past. I'm perfect in the future!

Years ago in a college psych class, a professor explained that one survival instinct humans have involves our tendency to suppress unhappy memories and to remember happier things. So if Grandma never mentioned that her neighbor was a vicious gossip, or her uncle was a pedophile, or her mom drank and tried to hide bouts of depression in fierce house cleaning, that doesn't mean those things didn't exist. If this were not true, we'd never recover enough to function after suffering a terrible loss or a traumatic experience. Technologies change with time, but human nature doesn't. I would never want to go back.

I visited with the last remaining Walker sister in her cabin. She was a friendly and happy lady. She led her entire life in the same way. She had nothing to compare it with. We should not assume that because we couldn't survive this kind of life that others born into this culture were unhappy as well. Perhaps they were not smiling because some stranger was photographing them. They lived in their home years after the park was established.I remember when the Knoxville paper told the story of how they were discovered living in what had become a park. The paper said that they were speaking Shakespearean English like the first settlers spoke in the 1600's. When I met her she was used to tourists coming by to see her. She seemed to enjoy the visit and told us several stories and showed us the suit she made for her brother to wear at his high school graduation.. He was the only one of the family to leave the place. She would write what she called poms and give them away. People would usually give her money in exchange.

People were poor. Hardly anyone had money to buy anything. The poverty rate even in the 50's was 19% compared to 10% today. Folks like to say how cheap gasoline was by using the unadjusted money of the day. Adjusted for inflation gas was $4.10/gal in 1934. However, few could afford a car to put gas into it. Only a few had two nickels to rub together. Same was still true in the "good ol' days" of the 50's.

Life was hard for those generations, yes, but most of them had been raised to be decent, hardworking people who helped neighbors and depended on neighbors themselves. I think that's a good part of what we think of as "the good old days." Now when evil happens, we're made to hear of it instantly, which makes us much more conscious of what terrible things go on around the world. I don't like hearing of instant hate, mayhem and violence. We don't seem to have any "good old days" now.

Ruth Livezey , maybe because back then alot of the times it was hush, hush or swept under the rug? It embarrassed the family so nobody talked about it. They rather tell the children stay away from that Uncle than turn that Uncle in who fondle the little children. But yes they did help each other out more with the work if a neighbor needed a helping hand.

My dad (b. 1923) grew up in the slums of Swansea and was a boy in the Great Depression. Went to war at 17 and also said there was nothing "good" about the good old days. After the war he emmigrated to NZ, married my mother and along came I and another couple of sisters. For him, 1950 onwards were the good old days and for me too.

I suspect your father would be horrified at the way the world is today. And the good old days were hard work for many people, debilitating for some absolutely, but it was also free of the kind of emotional stress and culture wars and Insanity that we're doing with today. It was still respect and compassion and consideration amongst the majority of the populace. Work ethic and keeping your word were paramount. That's all gone today and that matters a lot more than worrying about a wood stove or getting hot ginning cotton.

Rena Kornegay Harrison Both of my parents had fathers who walked out on them in the Depression. If your neighbors knew you were divorced or a single mother you could kiss any help goodbye. Help often depended on conformity. And remember that religion helped to repress women, GLBT, people of color and non-mainstream religions, just as now. As far as help went, my folks both had periods of hunger as kids and my mother could not list the number of places they were evicted from due to not having the $$ for rent in spite of a mother who worked full time while sick with breast cancer.

April Sensing Beg to differ. You're totally forgetting about the Depression. My folks were raised in it and my mom remembers her parents going without food to feed their SEVEN children and then wondering how they could get some food for tomorrow. My dad's family was going through the same thing with FIVE children. My mom's father died in 35 and when her mom went to social services for help, they politely but firmly told her to piss off and get a job and her 12 year old son could quit school and go to work. She worked in a laundry 12 hours a day and he worked whenever he could. The rest of them raised themselves and each other. I guess if a family had enough money to ride it out, things didn't seem so bad. If you were poor to begin with, life was not pleasant at all.

Hard times, people depended on family and friends because there were really no other options, it was necessary to having any quality of life. Shared crop harvesting, barn raising etc. everyone had some skill or ability beyond their primary job that they could offer to their social group in return for assistance they would at some point need. No local construction companies, contract harvesters, 911, and on and on. It was a community of like minded people with shared values and beliefs...not so much today.

Sure good old days where kids died of polio and diphtheria and women could not inherit anything. Any land, house money all went to the kids in some states or to the sons in other states. My dad worked 22 hour days six days a week and made $50.00. No benefits at all. It was good old days alright

The good old days before analgesia, anaesthesia and antibiotics. When maternal mortality sat at over 10 per 1000 live births and you could expect to bury 40% of your children before they reached their 5th birthday. Definitely miss those good old days.

Anthony Wilson there were definitely good things about the good old days and things we can learn from them but too often either the facts are whitewashed or we look back on them with rose coloured glasses.

My mom grew up in the 30's and wouldn't want to go back there for anything. You see all these comments about they were grateful for what they had and not afraid of hard work etc. And she told me it sucked. She said they knew they were poor and people thought they were trash and she couldn't wait to get the hell off the farm. She graduated High School at 21 went to a nursing assistant school and she only saw her father twice in the next 40 years ,cause a womans place was in the kitchen. Her 4 brothers were pulled out of school in the 6 th grade and used as unpaid labor until WW2 and they all walked to the recruiters office Dec. the 8th and signed up and didn't go home again until the 50's.

Yep. I sometimes get a bit peeved by all the Facebook posts that will mention something like “remember when…” and then wax rhapsodic about huge good it was in the 1950s or 60s. And all of us who remember those times are supposed to agree, “yes I’m so glad that I grew up in a Time before cell phones, computers, etc, etc . “. And all I can think is how happy I am that many things have changed for the better since I was a child.

Nina Zanetti I think that the life in suburban America in the 1950s/60s was pretty idyllic compared to the 1930s and earlier. There are some things that are better now, like vaccines for childhood illnesses… there are others that are much worse, such as increased violence, drugs, human trafficking, and a host of diseases that didn’t exist then. It’s also a lot harder for a 25 year old starting out now than it was in the 80s when the economy was booming.

Some things were great back then because parents and grandparents taught the value of what you have is the main thing and what you learn in life is just as important as what you have. They always want you to continue to improve for the future never stay stuck in the present keep moving forward in everything you do. They want every generation to improve on what the last generations left behind and make it better for all people. Somewhere we forgot that lesson and we have to get back on track to become successful again.

My father walked three miles to school in the rain and snow. He played baseball in the street because there were very few cars in the 1930's. He was afraid of public swimming pools because he thought he would catch polio. Food was rationed, but he could have all the bread and gravy he wanted because bread was 5 cents a loaf. To me, the good old days was playing outside all day and not worrying about kidnappers or active shooters. We snacked on home made popcorn, cakes, cookies and Kool-Aid. Candy and Cokes were limited.

All depends on how much money you had. My mother grew up dirt poor in Arkansas. My dad grew up upper middle class in Massachusets. She had no running water or electricity and an outhouse, her older brother died in 1924 of cholera at 2. Dad went to a prep school and sent out his laundry. Dressed for dinner nightly. People with money lived well during the Depression.

I suppose we will never know how good it was. I bet they appreciated things more. But apart from that I don't see the appeal. My grandmother said that when she was growing up in the 30s many people she knew died of some sort of outbreak.

I think when peoples used the term good olds days those not mean anyone was rich but was happy with what they have.

Yes. And think how many jillions of hours they would have to do this to make enough thread to put on a loom to make enough fabric to eventually make one of those enormous skirts! Although I suspect the fabric for their clothes is store-bought. Still, the thought of how many hours would go into something to wear before industrialization is just mind-boggling.

Maybe they’re remembered as the good old days because that was honesty partnership cooperation fulfillment of a job well done courage every day to get up and do it say your prayers at night sleep a sound sleep and get up and do it all the next day but no deception dishonesty was at a minimum And betrayal was not so evident stick to it fitness was a trait not bailing out or giving up was expected to prevail and thanks Were quick to be expressed laughter and playfulness when you could squeeze it in we’re appreciate it

My mom lived with us into her 90s. She was born in1902. She was amazed at all the conveniences I had. Her one job was she could load and empty the dishwasher. Many times I was told stories how hard it was to keep house, wash clothes without hot water, excluding bathing and washing dishes. You heated the water for everything. The dishwasher always amazed her. Life was not easy, we have no clue!

The way things are looking a version of this is coming your way....with extra goverment involvement for those of you who crave it so.
I would bet that if these women were presented with the nanny state of goverment today and lack of freedom compared to then they would aim a shot gun at it....just saying

This makes me appreciate even more how easy my life has been since I was born. My dad worked hard. Mom did not have it easy, but daddy bought a washing machine as soon as he could and other electric appliances to make her life easier. Now in the 21st century, we see young people expecting luxury handed to them, never wanting to work.

Jan Goslinga yes I do. I am not a boomer. I am 80 and have seen all the changes in young people, I know many hard working ones and many slackers, and today there are too many. Jobs are offered and no takers, they want the socialist government to take care of them.

Are you sure the picture has been taken in 1936? Seems more around 1910 acording to the clothes they wear.

We had a good childhood in the 50s and 60s. Our parents had it rougher and of course grandparents and great-grandparents. They were the foundation on which this country was built we are all so ungrateful.

Let me just say you need not go back to 20’s and 30’s to talk about the “good ole days. I was born in ‘43 and lived in a house until 1950 with an outhouse, wood stove for cooking, fireplaces in each room for heating and all the scrub boards and ringer washing machines, an oak icebox that required the ice house to deliver blocks a couple of times a week so we had refrigeration for perishables, etc, etc.

I truly believe that hard work never hurt anyone. What we seem to be missing a lot these days is morality. Weve made great strides in medicine and technology but no one seems to be happy something really seems to be missing .

How sad we went from people that worked their a**** off to make things better to lazy people now that dont want to work at all. The old days may not have been great but people back then didnt expect everyone else to pay for them like they do now.

Yes my parents worked so hard to raise us nine kids. They lived thru pandemics a depression two world wars and several sfterwards. My clothes were made from flour sacks, no water or inside plumbing. No electricity til I was nine years old. My mom worked in restaurant for 25 cents a hour. She never knew the convenient appliances we have today. and she walked five miles to get to that restaurant job 7 days a week. God bless you mom rest in peace.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
