Laura - 2004-12-16 01:18:28 I wonder how long Orrin was lost? I wonder how cold it was? I wonder if his fingers were frostbitten? I wonder if he chewed them off to prevent gangrene? Or maybe he was the worst nail-biter ever.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-12-16 09:04:56 Poor Orrin. I wonder how old he was; not too old, I imagine. Perhaps 12 or so. There must have been quite the wilderness in Lodi Township. * * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-12-16 09:13:13 Early settlers did seem to work hard to be fruitful and multiply. Missus Gilbert was left with 10 children, the story says, when the ol' man died, Orrin being the oldest. I'll bet looking after the younger nine was tough.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-12-16 09:15:02 You do have to wonder how she made it with the little ones. Surely she couldn't farm the land all by herself. But maybe she did. I imagine it might be more likely she retreated to an urban area & took in washing or the like. I wish I knew what happened to Ms. Gilbert.* * * * * * * * * * * * Dan Arbor - 2004-12-16 12:29:29 Great post! I'd love to read more about my new home in Temperance, and I am wondering if you know of any similar links to Bedford/Monroe county historical pages. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-12-16 12:32:15Thank you for your kind words Dan A. I have a vague memory of a historical paper for Bedford/Monroe info. Off the top of my head I can tell you that muskrat was a popular dinner dish in the Monroe area back then. I'll take a look when I get home.* * * * * * * * * * * * Dan Arbor - 2004-12-16 12:51:05 (Homer Simpson voice) Mmmm, Muskrat!* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura (smiling) - 2004-12-16 12:53:12 that's funny. It's true, though--it was a popular meat. I even have recipes. Somewhere. I mean, ones I saved for their historical value--I am neither a hunter nor a consumer of roadkill, and think muskrats are cute besides.* * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2004-12-16 13:38:37 For a start on Temperance, try: http://www.bedfordmi.org/history/ Monroe has a pretty historical museum in the old post office. Years ago a guy who was director looked at some old square-cut nails for me. He was something of a nail expert. I'm pretty sure he's gone from there now. Name? dunno.* * * * * * * * * * * * Blogger - 2005-01-09 14:02:50 Scrivi il tuo blog http://www.blog-buster.net* * * * * * * * * * * * Blogger - 2005-01-09 14:03:06 Scrivi il tuo blog http://www.blog-buster.net* * * * * * * * * * * * Ronny - 2005-03-07 02:04:42 Your site is very nice, compliment! from http://www.visasupport.org* * * * * * * * * * * * Ronny - 2005-03-07 02:04:58 Your site is very nice, compliment! from http://www.visasupport.org* * * * * * * * * * * * Cosacco - 2005-03-08 15:08:38 8 Marzo, W le Donne! http://groups.msn.com/ViaggiareinUcraina* * * * * * * * * * * * Cosacco - 2005-03-08 15:08:56 8 Marzo, W le Donne! http://groups.msn.com/ViaggiareinUcraina* * * * * * * * * * * * Frenk - 2005-03-23 11:34:15 Your are the best!
