Life was challenging 100+ years ago. Irving Taylor dying from TB and Edna his wife dying after childbirth, both of them in their 20s. As usual I enjoy reading James Roger's simple observations. Seeing 2 crows, showing appreciation for letters and pc's, showing concern for the welfare of family and friends, etc, shows the James has his priorities right..
The Mansfield boys described by James Roger surely were made of sterner stuff if they sawed 10 1/2 cords of wood in one day.
And were the Hardys and Mr. Parmenter wearing LL Bean-type boots in the photo?
