"Grandma Vursey built this outhouse in or around the year 1952. They did not have electricity, running water or indoor plumbing until the mid '60's.  For a child, going to grandma's and using the outhouse was always an adventure.  The only thing I had against the outhouse was grand-daddy spiders and wasps!

"The old outhouse was about to fall over on it's side when I rescued it a couple of years ago.   It is now completely 'useable,' even down to the 1952 copy of a Sears & Roebuck catalog.   (Corn cobs are also available on request).  It is a two-holer, one round hole and one small diamond-shaped hole.  The small diamond-shaped hole was for little children.  Today, when my 5 years old granddaughter comes visiting, she always has to make at least one trip to the outhouse to 'use-it'." - Vickie
