Transcription of a letter written by Edith Gallup Gage to her mother, Phebe Montanye Gallup.

October 23, 1907

Dear Mother:

My twins are 13 years old today and a great deal of help to me. Monday night after school the girls washed a large washing besides getting supper. (I don't pretend to do anything only what I can do sitting down.) Tuesday morning they rinsed and starch the clothes done, did the morning work even to making beds and mopping and got things ready for dinner. They backed (2 apple pies) and got to school in time they were up at half past four. Orlando killed 5 pigs yesterday, 4 for market. They only dressed 102 lbs. a price. We kept one, sold them at Esperance and got 9 cents a lbs. They were late pigs, the last of April and only skim milk, so it was not so bad. He thrashed in the afternoon, earning $5 and moved his machine today. He is digging potatoes for us. He won't have any nuts to send to send you as the squirrels and friends of ours are taking them when the children are gone. Orlando is away thrashing and I can't stop them. I can only teeter backward and forward when I try to walk so I don't try much any more, the sides, back, and belly burns like fire when I try although the flesh feels ice cold, Orlando says, when you touch it. I do not feel heat nor cold just comfortable when I lay still that is something to be thankful and I do not worry. It will be and is all for the best.

I hope you are better. Here is a slip of a pretty red geranium. It is near time for the mail so I must quit with love to all.

----------------------------------------------

From Aunt Phebe Petersen,

I am going to give you a little background and childhood memories.

My Grandmother and Grandfather Gallup were married when Grandmother was 15 years and 1 month old, to her school teacher husband on Februaary 12, 1859. He was 27, twelve years older .

Grandmother went to school one month to finish a portion of arithmetic she wanted.

Then they went to housekeeping on his 50 acre farm. I remember his telling that there was a large set of iron stone dishes in the pantry. 12 large dinner plates, 12 supper plates, 12 pie plates, 12 butter plates, 12 cups and saucers, platters, vegetable dishes and a gravy boat. She still had part of this set which was used while all 12 children were raised.

A few were left when she died at 83 years five months. The gravy boat is now 114 years old.

My Mother, the oldest of 12 children, was born when Grandmother was 16 years and 16 days old. There were 7 daughters and 5 sons, all now departed, an aunt, 89 in December last.

My Mother and all but the 3 youngest went to the same teacher, a normal graduate in New York State. Mother got a certificate and started teaching at 16 and taught 10 years. An 11 month term, at $25.00 a month, boarding 2 weeks at a time with parents of school children. No free public school at that time.

My Mother and another teaching sister, bought their Mother a hand wringer which fastened to a wooden tub made by a cooper. They also bought her a [Whident?] Wilson sewing machine. No one but Grandmother could use the machine as it as a treasure. All clothing before was made by hand. No boughten clothing.

Shoes and boots were made by a cobbler in the home. Socks and hose were hand knitted, in winter of wool and cotton in the summer. Compare our life today with theirs.

At 26 our Mother married a widower with 4 young children. The mother dying of quick consumption when the youngest, a daughter, was 4 years old. Two of Father’s sisters tried to keep the 3 boys but along with their own families was too much. The boys were 5, 7, 9.

After Father’s and Mother’s marriage, they moved to Albany NY where Father worked for the Pullman Car Shops for years. The boys were active boys and Mother found them hard to manage. They climbed to the top of the city reservoir, walking around the top one nearly fell in. Mother wanted to get out of the city and as her old birth place could be bought, they bought it. They moved to the 50 acres and Father working at his old job. Mother farmed it . Later he came to farm. Farmed, did carpenter work and was a stone cutter in a quarry. We 4 children were born.

The 50 acres proved too small to make a living on and in 1900 on Mother’s birthday, we moved to a larger farm and then in 1905 to our own farm until the death of Father and Mother 8 days apart in 1908.

Now for some memories.

When four years old, my sister stubbed her toe and I was going to make a Gallup Plaster for her. I picked my apron full of chips, had brother or sister hand me a small can of kerosene. There were coals in the summer kitchen from dinner and enough to engulf me in flames. My hair was burned off and I was severely burned. My twin brother and sister Alice put their arms around me taking me to the house. Mother was lying down and the young girl was frightened and ran to neighbors. Mother grabbed me , burning her stomach trying to pull off my clothes. Finally she smothered the flames with rugs. I was burned under the right arm. She harnessed the team taking me to the Dr. in the village.

I laid on a pillow for a long time, screaming when anyone but Father came near me.

Father wasn’t near me at the time.

Another time, when living on the larger farm a butcher came for fatted calves, fed on cows till they weighed 200#. They were butchered and taken to city market. Father came up the hill just in time to see we three, with our feet on the back axel. We had been forbidden to put our feet on the axel. And he punished the 3 of us with the rope in his hand and shut us in the wagon and harness shed.

My Mother and Father were cutting corn by hand and and shocking it, when a cloud burst struck. They started for home fording the Schoharie Creek. They were frightened as the water rose so fast. Almost at once cows, houses, pigs, fodder, pumpkins, and buildings, started down stream. A few miles down stream a home was saved by an apple limb going thru a window and holding it. The water came up many feet. The cows and horses moved to high ground. Hay in barn had to be baled to save it. The presses were high and men stomped the 175 to 200# bales. Presses were automatic.

Now will tell you about farming. The crops consisting mainly of small grain. Oats, barley rye, wheat and buckwheat, corn, all very small acreages. Also timothy and clover. Pasture for milk cows.

To prepare the soil. It was plowed by a 2 horse walking plow, harrowed and the stones picked up and put on a flat boat drawn by 1 horse, with Father and us children throwing stones on the boat. No child was called a kid in the east.

To plant corn or potatoes a marker was used for the rows, going both ways. A jab corn planter for the corn, potatoes at the corners with a one horse cultivator.

A reaper was used for grain, tied by hand or left loose until dry, picked up by barley fork, put on a hay rack, threshed usually in hay barn. O yes, Dad cut around field with a flail, not to lose grain, also seeded by hand.

Of course I could tell you many other instances.
