My wife's family had a general store that opened in 1923. I found a Outhouse behind the store that has a bench with two holes in it. It is covered up, so I am wondering if this was standard practice, say after an inside bathroom has been built? I mean, it seems as though that on the back to the Outhouse there is a back wall that starts a couple of inches above the ground. I wonder if trays were used sometimes to dump the waste material if there was not a hole there? Or maybe the hole was covered up after all. BTW, I need a good probe so I can find out the answer to this question myself!
