This image shows a "granpa" figure as his family of the younger generations leave and he is still at him in his little shed of a home with his dog. 

As seen in the final scenes of the novel, Sharon and the gang comes across a barn/shed in the smultering cold rainy weather. They head over to a shed with a man and a young boy. The below description is of the shed very symbolic to the time period. 

"They came panting up to the rain-soaked barn and staggered into the open end. There was no door in this end. A few rusty farm tools lay about, a disk plow and a broken cultivator, an iron wheel. The rain hammered on the room and curtained the entrance. Pa gently set Rose of Sharon down on an oily box. "God Awmighty!" he said. Ma said, "Maybe they's hay inside. Look, there's a door." She swung the door on its rusty hinges. "They is hay," she cried. "Come on in, you." It was dark inside. A little light came in through the cracks between the boards." (ch 30).
