I did a little digging around and found out that when this picture was taken he was employed as a knife sharpener. That only half of his seven other siblings lived to adulthood. That his mother died of exhaustion. Which is shorthand for many causes contributing to what was likely a stroke or heart failure.

However he and a brother were killed in WW1.. On 9 October 1917

He died in France..

Congress going on the same cell phone plan would save money.. They could save even more money by getting a Obama phone. Oh and the DLC for reenlistment was exciting. As you waited to see if the sign up bonus would be worth another four years or not…

Though i did hear that the the family did manage to keep their deceased loved one on a respirators. The republicans argued it was good enough for saint Ronny. It was a good enough for this dead woman.. Though the family did make a major donation to the RNC just before that announcement.. I am sure the two had nothing to do with each other…

Also: doing something for the poor for free…? Isn’t that, like, wrong?

Photograph: cotton flour sacks would be printed with flower patterns since around 1939, as women used flour sacks to make clothes for their children; patterned flour sacks, often marked with washable ink to remove the brand, sold better and helped families on a tight budget by turning a essential foodstock into a money-saver. The practice lasted until the 1960s when the post-war prosperity and the availability of other packaging matherials reduced the use of cotton sacks.
