LOIS'S RAINBOW OF MEMORIES

Lois's Life During The Depression Days


This website contains the writings and musings of Lois Caywood Guffy, a native born resident of the Great State of Oklahoma. For years, Lois has been writing and recording her family history. This is my attempt to share it with you.





These stories are my memories of childhood from my birth on January 23, 1931 to the day I married on November 22, 1947. May you enjoy them as much as I have had living them and reliving them in stories. Lois
