Mitch, thanks for sharing a look at your family momentos. I have a copy of a poll tax receipt, but had never seen a depression era work slip. The family photo is from a time when not many people had or could afford cameras and most families didn't get good photos like yours. I notice that all of the menfolk in the picture had hats on, regardless of age.

"My Grandpa had a fav'rite gun, a watch and things like that. But I think the thing he valued most, was a darned ol' worn out hat............................"
