I, too, grew up in central Illinois on a farm. My grandparents also lived on a farm. When their 50th wedding anniversary was approaching daddy remodeled their house for an anniversary open-house party. He put in plumbing and an indoor toilet. Grandpa had a FIT!!! He said that no one better use it. He said to do something like that inside the house where you ate and slept was just plain nasty. He continued to use the outhouse until the day he died.
