1940ish
Rural Southwest Arkansas
My grandmother & grandfather on my dad's side-
Lela & Clarence.
I assume the gun and tote bag means
he had been squirrel hunting.
The truck is a good old Chevrolet,
I think called a stake truck, but I could be wrong.
I know they had that truck for a long time because
I have photos of all three kids standing beside it
and they were in their teens.
My grandmother is wearing a dress, which was her norm
until after my grandfather died, I believe.
She made all of her own clothes, and her daughter's also.
This shirtwaist dress was pretty popular back then
and on up to the 60's or later.
She added the rolled up stockings later on and
I remember those well.
They were thicker than regular nylons.
Lela was the daughter of Earnest Luther & Harriet Cox
Barrett and Clarence was the son of James & Linnie Clark Sutton
I miss them both.
