No Place Like Home

As newlyweds in 1921, my parents set up house in northwest Iowa near Ashton, on one of my paternal grandfather's two farms. When my widower grandfather died in 1937, his will called for the farms' sale, with the money divided among his seven heirs. My family couldn't afford to buy the farm where we lived and it didn't sell due to the Depression, so we remained there until it finally sold in 1940.
