Used a coal stove to cook and would often chop wood to burn even when there was an electric stove in the kitchen. Her hands were never idle. She made clothes for all her children and for many grandchildren as well. I remember her holding up a newspaper to my body and cutting around it to make a pattern for a dress for me. She also did lovely needlework and there was always a quilt in the frame in the winter. She was very strong, did what had to be done without complaining and was very serious about her church.
