Grace Maud (Nickell) Ford
Grace Ford was born August 19, 1900, in Phillips County, Kansas. She married Claude Ramsey Ford on August 21, 1918. They had five children. Ford’s family lost everything in 1929-30 and was forced to live on government relief. She talks about saving a starving cow by feeding her cactus. She also gives a vivid description of the big dust storms in eastern Colorado during the Dustbowl.
