Living the Farm Life
In this story, we are reminded about the cost that comes with having children — expensive diapers, the latest toys, and of course, those hefty college fees. Back in 1927, Charles and Fannie Lawson were living a simple life before they decided to expand their family with seven beautiful children.

Charles grew up in a sharecropping family, so he managed to save enough money to purchase a derelict farmhouse close to his brother’s farms. Charles moved his family to the farm in Germanton, South Carolina where the Lawsons settled in to begin their new life. Sadly, it would be short-lived.
