[Year count 100] Here are the 4 households of lower farmland...
Judith and Viggo Humph came to Galucca nearly a generation ago. Their son, Bob, is about to take over this little farm, while daughter Mandie married one of the Gnomes sons just across Mine Road. Bob is the one featured in the post about the old graveyard/cemetary.
This farm grows lettuce and peppers, and old Viggo takes care of it alone. Bob works in the mines, but prepares to become a farmer. I think he has a good eye to someone, but I just don't recall who... ;)
Lincey and Rick Gruston are the latest newcomers to this district. They have 3 kids, and Polly is already young adult. Gusha will soon grow up, too. Ah, I think it was Polly that the previously presented Bob Humph is dreaming about, Is he the one sneaking around the Gruston home at nights, to get a glimse of her...?
This household grows quite a variety, mostly potato but also lettuce and plum. Except Rick and Polly, they all got a mischief look on their face, and most of them are quite ambitious - Gusha even wants to become a politician. So, maybe they are not meant to be poor farmers forever? Son Bobby is set to take over the farm.
Sandy S. & Pete Fogdale reside a decent house, and Pete who is much older than Sandy, lived here since a long time. Sandy is 3rd generation in Galucca, she comes from the Spangler Ranch in Gal District, and she got a horse from her folks. But she dislikes nature in general, and I'm not sure she married Pete for love (just look at that face of his!) He does pretty well growing water melons, though ;) .
Son Eremias just reached teen, and daughter Magda is a child. Eremias has no interests matching a future on a farm, but hey-ho, he might be a good farmer still.
Mandie H. and Tomus Gnomes grow just a little lettuce and more. This was always a large household (in a tiny house), and because teens usually worked at the factories, the household used to bring in enough money without gardening much. Mandie is sister of Bob Humph across the old Mine Road. Mandie and Tomus have 2 kids, toddlers, Viggan and Kendra. The greyhaired man is Tomus' old dad, Martin Gnomes, who was widowed long ago. The 3 girls to the right are Tomus' sisters Katherine (back), Alice and Johanna. In addition one brother and sister moved out earlier. I said it was a large household in a small house!
Tomus is 3rd generation in Galucca. Mandie used to work at Iron Winding, but when the youngest was born she started helping Tomus with the gardening instead, and they will need to increase production now that Tomus' sisters are about to move out.
Finally, a couple more views at the industrial builds. The old shack is the only original industrial build, but it is no longer in use for anything but storage. I must admit I like this lot, even if the builds look misplaced in a farmland. There are lots of working tables lined up inside, one building with inventors' workbenches, another with tables with small tools on (not really sure what Garton Technology produces). I would love to arrange for a few snapshots inside some day :D
On the second pic, you can see Pettonta Castle in the distance. This is Galucca's dirty backyard, so to speak, while the finer families concentrate more on the town and the trades going on in Old Town.
Looks like some pretty heavy pollution is going on, but that smoke alone can't be enough to cause the damages that are to come. No no no... there's gotta be something else, don't you think?
Well, the upper farms will be presented next.
