In the 1880's to early 1900's my husbands family had a big business in
strawberries & apples in Rudy, which is just north of Alma. farming was the
way of
life with just a few that were preachers, clerks and a couple drs.

Rozie,
My mother Mabel FINE ANDERSON told me that her father, Peter Pinkney FINE,
and her uncle George FINE both raised strawberries, also. She was born in
1921 and remembered picking strawberries as a child. She also taught me that
any peach that wasn't raised in Crawford County or Washington County wasn't
worth eating! <grin>
