Seeing this picture I can add to this with a story,
In the teens my Grandfather would leave school in Pa for a few weeks, catch a train to Iowa & work picking corn for the Big operations with a whole group on Men & boys.

In 1918 he left again for the fall harvest & after two days of work, he received a telogram that said 2 Words,,, Come Home,,, so he left there, picked up his pay for 1.5 days & returned home to find his Mother my Greatmother has passed away..
