Virginia, Northern Neck | My Dad's father delivered eggs to stores with a wagon and a 2-horse team.
Eggs were in wooden crates with straw to prevent breakage.
7 children, 2 parents, and Grandma ate cracked eggs cooked lots of different ways for supper most nights.
Dad (born 1918) said they had plenty of bread, his Mom baked every day.
Sunday there was a chicken for dinner, cut 10 ways.
Dad lived to 1 month before he turned 96, in good shape until the last couple of years.
His Dad and brothers all died in their late 50s and early 60s from hard work, worry, exposure to weather, etc.
