The Older Brother

Pansy (1841 - 1930)

Two brothers, one 20 years old, the other almost eighteen, and one younger sister. The older brother has had to delay his primary schooling a few times to help out at home, and now the brothers are about to head off to college (secondary school) together. But their father has an accident and dies. How will the mother and sister be supported while the brothers pursue their schooling? The younger brother insists it's what their father had wanted for them. It's what he would have wanted . . . but what would he have counselled them to do, now that money is so much tighter? --Summary by TriciaG
