Getting electricity marked a turning point in the lives of thousands of rural North Carolinians. The first night Sam Oswalt’s Iredell County family enjoyed electric lights, “We just felt so good and rejoiceful that we thanked the Lord for it.” A Gates county farm woman whose family received electricity in 1939 felt like they were “coming out of the dark ages.”

Without electricity, accomplishing the most routine of tasks required strong muscles and ingenuity. A United States Department of Agriculture study conducted in 1919 found that rural families spent 10 hours a week simply hauling water from wells and springs. Without refrigerators, rural people had to invent ways to keep food fresh. In Edgecombe County, W. Kitchin Benson’s mother “would put butter in a bucket in the summertime and put it down in the well, not quite to the water. That was the cooling system we had.” Every morning, whether temperatures were hot or cold, woodburning cookstoves had to be stoked. “It was fine in the wintertime,” remarked one woman, “but in the summertime it would burn you up. The kitchen would be like an oven. The sweat would pour off of you.” Henry P. Lucas milked his 25 dairy cows by hand everyday. “That’s the reason I got these crooked fingers,” he explained. “See both of them’s crooked? Milking cows.”

Although the REA provided loans and technical assistance, leaders of rural communities had the responsibility of organizing the cooperatives. They signed up prospective customers, collected the initial $5 fee, demonstrated to the federal government that the cooperative was a responsible borrower, and obtained permission to string lines across a farmers’ property. This organizing could take a lot of coaxing. Some farmers, accustomed to living without electricity, considered it a luxury. Others, still reeling from the Great Depression, found $5 hard to come by.
