Families lived in small houses, and people were very close to each other. Almost all children could go to school but they did not have a lot of books to read. People could go to see a doctor, and the medicines were very cheap but there were not many good medicines back then. People kept in touch with their friends and relatives far away mainly by letter or telegram.
