Joseph Gulde on a farm in Rush County--c.1916


Joseph Gulde (1896-1983) had several occupations as a young man. For a brief stint he worked on a farm near Milroy, Indiana. His father, Eusebius Gulde, rented land from the Anderson family. The Guldes struggled to earn a living during this period of their lives. Joseph was also trying his luck as a budding musician. The life of a tenant farmer was not easy in the 1910s. In the end, Joseph turned away from farming and towards carpentry.
