Nesbitt Memorial Library Journal
The Columbus Fire Company band, waiting for the arrival of some unknown dignitary.
The car in the background is obviously part of the decoration rather than part of a recently

where water eroded the soil. I have often wondered what the pipe drained. There was
a curb around the courthouse, but I do not recall any drains that might be connected to
the pipe. Eddie Mattern said they used to climb in the pipe and yell and listen for the echo
to come back to them. I wonder if this pipe is still there.
Mr. Henicke lived at Mentz and from time to time he would bring us cord
wood which my brother Leon and me had to saw up and split, the big chunks to be used
for fire wood for the kitchen stove and the heating stove in the winter. Sometimes he
would bring a rabbit or squirrel which my mother would cook.
We had a wood stove in the kitchen with a water reservoir at the rear. My
mother made homemade bread about twice a week in large bread pans that held about
four loaves. She also made yeast cakes from time to time by keeping a portion of a batch
as a starter for the next batch. People would come by and buy the number of cakes they
needed at five cents per cake.
Needless to say that the wood stove heated up the kitchen in the summer
so she usually baked bread in the early mornings. It was fine in the winter time as we
took Saturday night baths in a large tub with water heated in a wash tub on the stove
and using the water from the stove reservoir. Later my mother used a kerosene stove,
but she continued to bake her bread in the wood stove.
Having chickens, we often had chicken and noodles for Sunday dinner. My
mother made the homemade noodles. She would roll out the dough in thin sheets and
place them around on tables until they dried to the right consistency and roll them up
and slice the noodles in thin strips.120
