Five years have gone by and a lot has happened in the world and many new little Hamiltons have joined the family. Will and Clara welcomed what they plan to be their last child a boy named Ronald Harry. Now that the economy is bad they definatly do not want another child as it is a struggle to feed all the children they have now and often the kids have to go without eating for a night.

Henry and Sarah finally got the son they wanted in 1927. A year later they welcomed another son. Henry wanted another child, but now that the economy is so horrible he is going to have to settle with the kids he has now or at least wait until the economy improves. Henry favors his sons more than his daughters and his daughters, epecially ten year old (wrote her age wrong on my above post but can't edit), Ruth and eight year old, Josephine. Sarah also thinks he needs to be more fair.

Rose and Levi only had one child in the last five years. The child was a boy born in 1928 who they called Adam. Rose and Levi do not really want anymore kids, at least not now. Levi is one of the lucky people who still has his job, despite the depression. Samuel wants to get a job, but Rose will of course not let him since he is only ten.

In 1927 Catherine and Paul had boy-girl twins. They named them Daniel and Lorraine. Catherine and Paul's kids all are very close and want more siblings. Catherine also wants to have another baby, but Paul is not so sure he wants another, because of the economy.

Charles and his wife, Eva welcomed three children. The first child, a boy, was born in 1926. They called him Charles George Jr., but he goes by Charlie. Two years later they welcomed another beautiful baby boy who they named Ralph Carl. Eva did not think Charles and Carl were too similar for some reason. Two years later in 1930 they welcomed yet another son named Peter Saumel. Despite the money problems they may try and have one more child.

Robert got married over the past five years, to a woman named Mary. Six months after their wedding they welcomed a baby girl who they named Gloria Nancy. Mary and Robert adore Gloria and hate when their family say she was conceieved before they were married. Mary and Robert usually lie and say that she was just early, however it doesn't fool their families. In 1929, they welcomed another girl, who they named Donna Mary. A year after that they had a third daughter who they called Roberta Ruth (in case they didn't ever have a son). Unlike his brother, Henry, Robert is fine with having girls and does not really care if he ever gets a son.

In early 1928, Hazel married a man named Ernest Johh, who is ten years her senior. A little over a year later Hazel gave birth to identical twin boys they named Theodore Roger and Martin John. The boys are Hazel's whole life, especially since Ernest has changed for the worse after their marriage and the stock market crashed. Hazel is expecting another child. Hazel knows she will love the child, but she is still not very excited.

Margaret also got married during the last five years. She married a man named Andrew Albert. Recently she had their child, a boy, who they named Lee Andrew. They plan to have one or two more kids, despite the bad economy, since both believe nothing good can come out of having an only child.

Luckily for William he sold the farm and moved before the economy crashed. He still has most the money for the farm and still has his job, though it's starting to look like he might get laid off soon. Lillian is engaged and can not wait to get married, because she is in love and feels like she is making things harder for her father since she unlike some of her little brothers does not have a job
