| Farm and Fireside by Currier and Ives. 1878. |
The following is a quote from Sergeant Alvin C. York, from the year 1922. He describes, in his own words, about growing up as one of 11 children. He talks about his mother, who worked incredibly hard with a great deal of love and dedication.
"...Father built the log house at the spring and that's where most all
of us were borned and growed up. The children kept coming right smart
until there were eleven of us. Mother had to work from sunup often until
ten o'clock at night to keep us clothed and fed...She milked the cows,
made the butter; she looked after the hogs and chickens. She made the
soap and the tallow candles and fixed the grease for the lamps. She
carded the wool and spun and wove the
cloth and made all our clothes. She was a good mother to us, and with
Father she brought us all up and we are living today. We're all strong
and healthy and well and she enjoyed every moment of it. She enjoyed
life much more in those days, so she says, slaving and working for us,
than she does today, Jes quietly living with us with not much to do or
bother about.
