Services
There were various other odd jobs that a boy could get.
Theodore worked for his brotherin-law in the greenhouses where he fired the boilers that heated the greenhouses.
As the family matured, the nursery operated as a family compound with members being able to alternate from one job to the next.
When one member had to go to town for supplies, there were still greenhouses to be maintained, fields to be plowed, cows to be milked and fed, and customers to be waited on.
Theodore, 11 years old and in the fourth grade, was delighted when in 1916 the county built a new four-room, red brick schoolhouse just a little east of Crestwood.
