The "Ice Age" down this way was before electric refrigerators. Some people still call the fridge an "Icebox".
The "iceman" would have a tong in each hand carrying a 50 lb. block.
I remember those old ice houses well,now when you hear some one talk about an ice house they are talking about their favorite watering hole. :wink: because in their time they were a favorite gathering place,most sold ice and cold beer............good luck
