These of some of my relatives who lived in rural Mid-Michigan. I believe this picture was taken in the early 1930's. This is a very typical large American family found all over Michigan prior to WWII. I am not sure where this photo was taken in Mid-Michigan however, the background suggest it is a summer picture especially since everyone appears to be wearing light clothing.
It is so strange at how a mere eighty years could make such a difference in how people look and live in this country. Rural life still exists in Mid-Michigan but, in the picture it is hard to find anyone answering their cell phone and it is doubtful that anything on this property is made out of plastic.
