email from: Bert W. Hoyt If my mother had a cook book it was likely with my older sisters. The
only cook book of old in the family may be with our daughter Jane (was
used by my grandmother Flora E. (Waite) Wells who was born in IA. My mother
always prepared good meals during the depression My parents first lived on the Missouri River southwest of Linton, ND.
Dad raised navy beans on the property. They later built a home in Linton,
ND a short time before my arrival in 1930 just in time for the drought
and depression. I recall the sacks of beans in the cellar. We had a lot
of beans those years. What we didn't eat were traded at the grocery store
for other food. |
