At the height of the Great Depression, Donald and Bob Barnes raised chickens, and a cow, and maintained a huge garden. During the summers they and June walked to the forests to pick pails and pails of wild raspberries and pin cherries and to the marshes for blueberries which mother Mae canned at once for sauce, jams, and jellies. It was a case of simple survival.
