Maybe you're related to Bove. Her ancestors were trash too.

Really? My one grandpa was a dentist. He died young and my grandma did
remarry after her kids were grown. The man she married was well known in
the Midwest as a soft shoe dancer in Vaudeville. But by the time I knew
him, he was a Keebler rep. My other grandpa had a farm and ran a Western
Auto store by the time I knew him but he ran a variety of other businesses
in his lifetime including a restaurant, ice cream parlor and gas station.
His wife (my grandma) did in fact live in a mobile home after he died. He
did live there for a few years but died a few years after they moved in.
They sold the farm and did not need a large place to live. This was in KS
and mobile homes are still pretty common there. I suppose you would call
that "white trash".
