How old is the couple? They look like they are in their twenty's yet the skin looks so much older. Sunscreen, Vit C and Retin-A would have helped them to have the youthful look of today's couples.

Have you ever worked on a farm or in the hot sun for 6-8 hours in a day...I have but, by your comment I think not. Beauty is in those who sacrafice vanity in the hopes of living a fruitful and rewarding life as well as helping those who need help...Do you do that? I doubt it!

Homesteaders

Homesteaders Faro and Doris Caudill were photographed in Pie Town, N.M., in October 1940. According to "Pie Town Woman," by Joan Myers, Doris visited Pie Town in the summer as a teenager. She and Faro dated before marrying and living in a dugout on a homestead in nearby Divide. The couple lived on the homestead with their daughter, who was 6 when the photos were taken. Other photos of Doris show her planting her garden, canning vegetables and milking cows.
