That generation had hard lives. They lived through the great depression then sent their son's off to World War 2. They didn't have the government social safety net, so when their jobs disappeared they often packed up their families and moved to wherever they could eek out a living.

I can remember many old photos where a woman of that stature would be married to a skinny guy. Stern faces with few smiles. Times could be tough, but they somehow pulled through them.

Maybe she is the (widowed) owner of the station...it looks like a man's coat she is wearing. Or at least it's a coat too big for her. And just looking at her face, I bet she was a sweet looking round-faced young woman, like the face Betty Boop was modeled on. IMHO
