Although I'm only 41, my great-grandfather fought in the Civil War (18th Ohio). My grandmother was born in 1887 and lived to be 94. I was just a kid when she passed away, but I remember talking to her about how different the world was from the time she grew up. Being in a farming family meant she wasn't affected by technological advances as readily as some, and my Dad talked about how they were still farming with horses and wagons in the '30's.
