I'll bet, despite the smell, the animals actually helped keep them warm.<br />My grandmother's family came over on a boat from Russia in 1909--she was 9 years old. Landed at Ellis Island.<br />They settled in Mandan, ND. I often wonder about how they dealt wit the harsh, impossibly long winters.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685492126157550044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-56997199627691599992010-06-29T09:32:01.648-06:002010-06-29T09:32:01.648-06:00What a great story - and we moan about life today!...What a great story - and we moan about life today!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410318976755292700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-50773696574517154262010-06-29T08:46:15.092-06:002010-06-29T08:46:15.092-06:00Lovely story Leenie.

I don't think it was uncommon to bring the animals into the house - after all they constituted livelihood, didn't they?<br />I remember the scourge of scarlet fever and diphtheria when I was small. You never hear of it these days, do you?<br />Interesting post.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
