I am also the author of the Dora
Wade Diaries: 1931 to 1937. Read about it below....
It was an era of general stores, hucksters and the thrill of
mail order catalogs. Entertainment consisted of the Prairie Farmer and
a little Crosley radio that ran on short-lived "B" batteries ordered
from Sears. A fresh battery meant an evening listening to the Barn
Dance on WLS, the radio station of the "World's Largest Store"—which,
of course, was Sears.
Dora Etta Wade, a young woman living in rural Shelby County,
Illinois, diaries the Great Depression and the Dustbowl. She frequently
mentions her concern over keeping their telephone party line, Number
84, working when customers had to maintain their own poles and lines.
Access depended on all members of the party line paying their
"telephone dues."
Her father and brother were participating in government work
relief programs transforming hedge-lined dirt paths into modern
highways. Her brother drove his new Paige automobile on those evolving
roads as he deliberated over moving to Detroit to find work in a
factory.
The family debates whether to lease their farmland to an oil
company, as they contemplate how that very land helped them survive the
Great Depression without relying on government cash relief. Dora's
father ponders whether it is wise to register with the social security
system as it is signed into law.
Dora meticulously notes friends, relatives and neighbors who
drop by or send letters and cards. The diary includes dozens of
surnames.
Read firsthand about Balch, Banning, Bartman, Christenson,
Coons, Davidson, Dudley, Elston, Fox, Gotman/Gottman, Grant, Groves,
Houser, Hudson, Jones, Kull, Largent, Lawrence, Milligan, Mummel,
Patterson, Rawdin, Risser, Robinson, Roley, Rollins, Severe,
Shanholtzer, Shaw, Smith, Thomas, Volkman, Wade, Welton, Wheat, and
Wiley families in Shelby County during the early 1930s.
The Dora Etta Wade Diaries: 1931 to 1937 documents life in
Shelby County, Ill., during the early 1930's. This first-hand account
includes dozens of photographs, personal letters and original folk art.
To top it off, this eBook offers hyperlinks to ongoing genealogical
data research. Written in a chatty, warm style, these diaries offer a
glimpse into a time gone by and an insight into how global events
impacted rural life, stores, hucksters and the thrill of mail order
catalogs.
