After purchasing their farm in 1928, their first crop failed; the following year world markets collapsed, the Great Depression began, and many farmers abandoned their farms and moved to the cities. Only the stubborn and frugal stayed on the land, the Abersons among them. Bob Aberson credited his wife with their survival during those difficult years.”
