Growing up on the Family Farm during the 1920s and 1930s
This presentation is based on an oral interview with my mother, Margaret (Peggy) Bergquist, who was born in 1922 and is 87 years old. Her maiden name was Connor. She grew up on the family farm just outside St. Paul, Oregon along with two siblings, an older brother and a younger brother. At that time, the family had about 200 acres that included land along the Willamette River and Mission Landing. The interview covered what it was like growing up on the farm during the 1920s (Roaring 20s) and the 1930s (Great Depression).
