My dear Granddad delivered it even when they could not afford it anymore

It was on this day in 1878 when milk was first delivered in bottles. Who remembers getting their milk delivered to their doorstep?

 My dear Granddad, Pad had a dairy and delivered his milk door to door. At his funeral, an elderly woman came pushed in a wheelchair. Nobody knew her, so Bubba, Pad's beloved wife came and introduced herself. She told Bubba, she had seven children and lived in the Mill Village, and when she told Pad, she could not afford the millk anymore, he delivered it anyway for years!
