Notizen bei Venno A Janssen

When Hinderk and Nancy Janssen retired and moved to Ackley around 1900 or1901, Venno and Hilka moved to the farm. All eight children were born onthe farm.
Life on the Janssen farm just west of the Westfriesland PresbyterianChurch ( which is located four miles east of Ackley) was a busy one. Witheight children in the family, Grandma Janssen did lots of cooking andbaking every day for a hungry bunch of
hardworking kids. There was room around the table for everyone to beseated. Meals served were much different than now. Depending on theseason, much of the main meal consisted of either fresh or cannedvegetables, fruits, and meats. There was hardly ever fresh meat to eat.It was mostly canned or smoked On hog-butchering day, as pork chops were cut, they were placed in largecrocks in layers with hot sizzling lard poured between each layer. Thissealed the outside of the meat and kept it from spoiling. The crockswere stored in the damp,cool basement. When pork was planned for a meal,the girls were sent down to dig in the lard and bring up the chops.
In the summer, all the cooking was done in the summer kitchen, a smallroom north of the house. It was just too hot to keep a stove burning inthe main house.
In the winter, this small room was utilized in two different ways. Oneuse was for rabbits which were skinned and hung there to freeze untilthey were served for a meal.. Smoked meats also hung in there untilheated.
The other use was for the gas engine-powered washing machine. It wouldget moved from its outside summer location which was an old roofsupported by four posts. The "summer kitchen" became the "winter laundryroom-freezer.
The three girls had a bedroom together. The boys slept in the other tworooms upstairs. It wasn't unusual to sleep three kids to a bed.he kids didn't have much time to play. Grandma Janssen needed lots ofhelp with laundry, gardening, cleaning, cooking, canning, sewing, andpatching clothes. The chickens were also her project. She raised andfed them and had help from the kids gathering eggs. The eggs were sold for groceries in town. Theywent to town by horse and buggy and carefully packed the eggs. If itrained they had to cover the eggs to keep them dry. There was never anygrass to mow around the horse because the chickens were all over. and ate the grass.
The boys and girls all helped with the milking of the cows. There weremany cows that had to be tended to twice a day. Just a simple "Hey,Baaz" hollered at them in the pasture at milking time got the cowsheading to the barn. The girls had
to do the milking all by themselves with the boys doing the field workwith Grandpa.
All the kids went to German No. 3 rural school, west of their farm. Asingle teacher taught all subjects to grades one thrum eight. Like mostcountry schools, there would be only one to three kids to each grade.Each child had to keep busy
and QUIET doing classroom assignments while the teacher taught the othergrades. They always walked to school regardless of the weather.
In 1938 when their son, Isbrandt(Shorty) got married. Grandma andGrandpa moved to town. Shorty and Florence moved on the farm.
