Personal Recollections OF DeLilah Wisner Merritt
(Continued from last week)
In May following we bought out Moses Babcock on the Hess Road and built a house on it. We moved into it in August, without a window or
door, and the floor not all laid. It was before the time of cookstoves, so we had to build a fire outdoors to cook until the 8th of August, when we got our firepiace built and the house plas- tered.
The previous May (1833) my old- est sister (Sarah Wisner who married 1822 Abram Chandler Wisner) moved to Michigan (Clinton Franklin town- ship, Lenawee Co.) and that fali Father and Mother went to visit her. went with horse and carriage, and were gone seven weeks, and came back about the middie of November; and the 20th of November my oldest son (William Wisner Merritt) was born, 1833. That winter _1834, we sold out to Tussel Haskins and
bought out John Smith ,on emile west of Olcott, where we built a barn-but did not get the house done-and lived there until the foi- lowing March. We sold out to Cles- son Smith of the town of Berry, Orieans county.
We moved across the road in a house just vacated by Isaac Lock- wood. Soon after moving, our littie girl was taken sick; we did not think her dangerous at first. She lived about 4 weeks. My husband bought a farm in the east edge of the town of Wilson, of a man by the name of John Hess, but did not move un-
My husband bought out George
Van Vleet on. the Transit, one mile south of the Lake Road. The 21st of September, 1835, my second son, Al- bert B. was born, consequently we did not move until the middie of No- vember .There were two houses in the yard, we rented one to a man by the name of Sam Williams who lived there through the winter. 'That winter, 1836, there was a boom in Michigan in locating and selling 'gov- ernment land, and one day the first part of March, my husband went to Lockport, and just before he return- * jed my oldest boy, William, then a littie over two years old, was badly scalded by a kettle falling from the crane over the fire, but ;when his father came he was much elated over an agency which he had that day received of one Edward Bissell in the land speculation in Michigan, and was going to start the next day. I was very much frightened about my little boy, but I nursed him the best I could, and in about four weeks when his father returned he was nearly well. We then sold out to Newton Albright and . commenced preparations to move . to Michigan. It was a busy time for me, children's clothes to get ready, wagon cover to make; I had but short notice to pre- pare for so long a journey, and I made a sewing bee which helped me very much.
I had taken a little girl about a year and a haif previous by the name of Sarah Bangham, which I had to til the first of May (1835), owing to give up, which I hated to do, but her the sickness and death of our little girl. We moved in the house with Mr. Hess before they left. They went to Somerset, Hillsdaile Co., Mich: The house where we moved was new, lathed but not piastered, but pieas- antiy situated, in a good neighbor- guardian did not wish her to go so far away. There was a man who liv- ed a few rods north of our house, by the name of George Smith that own- ed forty acres of land in Michigan and wanted to move there, but could calculated to move on and improve no t raise money enough, and as my hood. I felt well satisfied with my husband had bought a large tract of new home. There we built a barn. I land far from neighbors, which we cleaned the house and expected to have a pleasant home some day. There was a young orchard just in until he could seil it off in farms, bearing. But we had not lived there two months when my husband csme and make a neighborhood, conse- quently he made a bargain with said Smith to move with us on our land and he would hire him to make said improvements. Husband also agreed in with an oldish gentieman and in- troduced him as Mr. Goddards from Berry, Orleans Co., N. Y. and said, to' advance money to move him and "I have soid the farm to him," but we lived there through the summer and boarded Mr. Goddard's son, support his family until he could work and pay him back. Consequent- he bought two . yokes of oxen for Smith and family. \ Alonzo, who put in a piece of wheat that summer (1835).

All of us know that the schools of today are very different from what they were fifty, seventy-five, or hundred years ago. The main differ- ence should be noted. Teachers used to be "hired" more for their ability to wield the rod than for their edu- cationai attainments. In some places
they had to adhere to the "flat the earth" theory (not to mention anti-evolutionary emphasis of some states today). Did boys and girls at- tend the same school? How was the teacher paid? When did a student usually stop his education ? Were the early teachers schoolmasters or school ma'ams? Were the early schools connected with the church- es in any way ? What subjects were taught? When was the high school added? When were the schools con- solidated and what effect . did this! have? How have state laws affect- ed the local schools? Were McGuffey readers used ? Was religion taught ? When did sports and athletics first
wooden hinges and fastened with the traditionai latch-string lock. The floor was made of puncheons laid on legs for joists. The chimney was on the outside and at the gable end of the house, opposite the door. The heat- ing was from the fire place and ver- tilation through the stick and clay chimney; the intake of fresh air was "where it listeth." The plumbing was a neighboring spring, a wooden pail and a drinking gourd.
