The impacts of the Great Depression affected everyone in Peg's family, and caused the family to relocate. The once profitable farm owned by Peg's parents was suffering because of the economy.

While Peg didn't work as a young woman she spent many hours assisting her parents in managing the farm. An important part of Peg's life is her family, she talks about the births of her daughters and their lives.

While many women of the time may have considered this a scary venture, Peg was excited for the opportunity to travel. Peg talks about her father being the first pilot in Montana. Despite the fact that the whole community thought that he was going to die in the plane, Peg had no hesitancies and flew with her father. As a teenager Peg's father asked her to take their sheep up into the mountains for the farm. She was only thirteen years old at the time, but her father trusted her with the responsibilities. Peg Talks about the process of canning food and saving eggs. Since there were so many people on the farm, it was essential that there was enough food for everyone after the hard days of work.
