One grandfather operated a small dairy farm and work as a railroad conductor nights. A lot fell on my grandmother, who didn't work outside the farm except for a stint as a store clerk.
The other had his own small farm but was a cobbler with his own shop after the kids got big enough to handle most farm chores. My other grandmother worked in a diesel engine plant during the war, and stayed there afterward.
Nobody talked about the Depression years. I think it was rough and they wanted that chapter closed.
