This book tells how two people who were born in 1891 and 1896 met and fell in love. They traveled by horseback during their courtship. A borrowed buggy was used by them to get their license and for their marriage in 1912. They lived with the grooms parents on a farm in the Ozarks in the same house where the groom was born. They cared for the grooms parents for the rest of their lives and then had problems from siblings over the ownership of the farm. Many interesting stories are included of family interactions and daily activities as the young couple care for the grandparents and start a family of their own. Life during the depression was hard for them as their family continues to grow. Their family grows to 12 children with many stories to tell as they are growing up in the Ozarks and dating and planning futures. Other stories are from some of their 42 grandchildren who remember their grandparents and tell of many experiences on the farm where the grandparents lived their entire married life. The book covers more than six generations of the family with stories or information on individuals from each of six generation.
