Aunt Wealthy's husband later in life became totally blind and when I was six years old I used to lead him to the pasture to get their two cows. We would put them in the night yard and Uncle Jimmy would grope around until he found a cow and sit down and milk her. These cows were not stanchioned. Why did those cows stand still and how did they know that kind Uncle Jimmy would not hurt them while feeling around with his cane to find them ?
Little Chore Boy Well Paid
After a lapse of more than 75 years the little chore boy can see the room in the Keler cottage. There were a few old fashioned kitchen chairs, an elevated oven Clinton air tight kitchen stove, a tall grand- father clock reaching nearly from floo to ceiling and a dog with long black curly hair called Toby. I must not forget the savory old dye pot in which Aunt Wealthy colored the yarn which she spun. She also un- derstood the mechanism of the old wooden loom and was dexterious throwing the shuttle with the wood thread between the warp. When a very old lady she still wore a linsey- woolsey dress which she wove in her younger days. There was a story that she in some way twisted some of the long hair of the old black dog in the yarn with which she knit those long wearing socks and mit- tens.
A big hunk of Aunt Wealthy's dog- in-a-blanket puddings or one of her apple dumplings covered with cream and boughten sugar was ample wag- es for the little chore boy who help- ed blind Gramp Keeler with his chores. I think Aunt Wealthy made "way down east" plum duff pud- ding, which she called "dog-in-a- blanket" by rolling out a batch of white flour dough. Instead of plums such as they used in New England she spread black berries or better yet, huckleberries and rolled the whole into a cloth or bag and hung jit in a kettle of boiling water, but not letting it touch the bottom of the kettle. Aunt Wealthy's dog-in-a- blanket pudding differed from Aunt Sophronia's plum duff in two essen- tials-Aunt Wealthy made hers of wheat flour and boiled it while Aunt Sophronia used corn meal and steam- ed her pudding. These dear old Grandmas who came to Salisbury from way down east years ago have been sleeping in God's Acre these many years but the memory of the good food they prepared from stuff raised on the farm lingers still.

These dear old Grandmas who came to Salisbury from way down east years ago have been sleeping in God's Acre these many years but the memory of the good food they prepared from stuff raised on the farm lingers still. And now looking back over three quar- ters of a century the chore boy won- ders whether after all It might not have ben the keen appetite of a growing lad that made him think that Ant Sophronia Rice and Aunt Wealthy Keeler were the two best cooks in all the world? He also wonders whether the present wide- spread use of cigarettes, cocktails and all night parties will produce such stalwart men and women as were to be found in our grandpar- ents' days-men and women to stem the rising tide of Fascism in this country and restore the independence we enjoyed just subsequent to the Civil war!
