Veachel and Getrude Keith at the Kyrock Asphalt Plant, Edmonson Co. KY @ 1920-1

This is one of the earliest surviving photos of my grandparents. Three children and expecting a fourth, living in a tent located at Kyrock Asphalt Plant, Edmonson County, KY . Work was scarce for a young family in Edmonson County, Kentucky. Two boarders also lived with them in the tent. This photo was taken in 1920-1 (Est. from birth date of smallest child). Appears to be a hard life with the Great Depression lurking.
