There's another Anna Marie Crocker who also has an oral history.

In regards to death by fire, this is why women during that day would often wear a wool apron, if a spark from the fire hit the wool it would smolder but it would not ignite quickly.

Thank you for posting

I miss Dana. He was a good guy.

Steve, whom you mentioned, and my sister Suzie dated for a while. Sad it never worked out.

Robby, its nice to see your interview. Knew you when we were kids. You and your dad Bob were always top notch guys. I always admires your cars, the Pontiac and 2 Impalas that followed. Jim Gustin Jr.

Have a photo of my dad in a swimming suit such as the one featured.

Born 1777..dies 1804... Such a young man to have made the homestead!

love the rock steps at front door

I grew up next door to this house, when it was in its original location on Red Top Rd. That was way back when that road was rural. I actually shot my first deer about 300 yards from that place... or where it used to be. Sad to see Brewster so built up now days. Love rural Iowa now, but do miss the Cape Cod of my 1970s-80s childhood.

Fascinating! Thank you. Yes I found at least one woman ancester who died by fire while cooking. She used gasoline.

Fascinating- thank you

It stuns me, the complete lack of responsible thinking that the early Americans seemed to have, over hunting to extinction of animals in areas, regions, and the entire country, the same attitude towards trees. I can't imagine they were that unaware.

awesome and thank u for upload i liked and subscribed

I just looked up the dollar purchasing power of $308 in 1804. It was equivalent in purchasing power to about $7,979.05 today

Two ol' hoes for .70. That's a bargain.

It looks miles bigger inside

The pettycoat catching on fire as a leading cause of death is a myth.

Thank you so much! I had such fun 😊

How disappointing not to be able to see the loft. 😢

Why didn't you show us the rest of the home. How annoying

Nice presentation, nice preservation!! Love the bathing suits, probably made of wool, can you imagine!

Nice presentation & nice preservation!! You didn't mention that the shovel is a snow shovel. The yoke was usually used by a female member of the family, the males would do much heavier work, can you imagine! Love the information about the taxes, death & taxes are the only thing that can be certain in this world. Benjamin Franklin!!

The host was trying to figure out how a couple that had between and 13 children lived in that house. They probably all did not occupy the house at the same time. My mother came from a family in which 11 children survived into adulthood. The children were born over a 30 year period so my mother, who was 3 from the youngest, had sisters old enough to be her mother. My 6 children were born over a 15 year period.

Thank you so much for the tour. That was very interesting!

What a charming woman!

Very interesting history and well told. Thank you.

VERY disappointing she did not at least show us the upstairs staircase!!!

11:25 Wm Shakespeare famously left his _Second Best Bed_ to his wife in his will, leaving his _Best Bed_ to his daughter. This sounds off-putting unless one takes into account that the _Second Best Bed_ had been their marriage bed together, and his daughter newly married.

How are 8 living there?

I was born in the back of an old butcher shop in the coal fields of NE Pennsylvania. I recall as a kid seeing my dad fill the tamps with coal oil late in the afternoon. We had an outhouse. On the sink was a hand pump for cold water, right next to a big cast iron coal stove. The best room had a pot bellied stove in the center. The was running water , but only in the cellar. Thats as far as the coal company would hook us up. The was a commode at the bottom of the steps. You could hear the me cutting coal in the earth way under the house. Saturday night was bath night. Buckets of cold water were heated on the coal stove. My dad got a promotion to mine boss and we moved into town and a better house. I was too young to know the difference other than how poor we were. Home entertainment was a big old radio in the living room. It kept us warm and dry. The Summers were hot, so most of the windows were screened and left open all day to cool the house through cross ventilation.

After you are finished looking here, then check out the people living in caves as wanderers in Iran. The have every need and make do too.

I want to see upstairs😢😢

Ahh I just love dutch style wind mill and the house and the fireplace it's so cool ,,it's simple and looks comfy ,,I like that ,, ,,and antiques are my favorite ,, thanks for the tour

Great video. Thanks

I am fascinated THANK YOU

Norah should be wearing a shirt that covers up her bra.

Elizabeth probably inherited because she was the youngest and the other living children would have been established in their own homes as soon as possible. Elizabeth gave her daughter-in-law as much security of place and ability to provide for HER children as was possible at the time. There was very little, if any, legal protection or support for women and children in those times.

I was particularly struck by the yoke for collecting water--for 8 people. Everyday. No toilet. No daily bath. We certainly have no idea of the fortitude of most of humanity, and I’m fearful of that realization.

It's a yoke. I remember my great-uncle using one of these to carry buckets of molasses he had made.

Enjoyed your presentation very much Ms. Finch. Now I ned a second viewing to sort out all the family. Thank you and all who preserve:)

An original tiny house!

LOVE VIDEO FOUND IT VERY INTERESTING I LIKE FINDING OUT THE HISTORY OF DIFFERENT THINGS

It's called the Black House but it's not really Black. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say African American House.

My last house in England was built in 1725. Hated it. It was not built to modern standards and was damp with mice in the thick walls. My Wisconsin house is great and modern, but too big !

I am putting this on my bucket list! Thank you for making this video! A lot of women inherited because the men usually were off making their own fortune and sometimes stayed where they made that fortune. It gave the women a place to stay and live out their days - mainly those who did not wed.

Such a lovely house and family story. The host was incredibly engaging and endearing. I was sad for her presentation to end. With such a full little house, how did the parents ever manage enough privacy to have so many children?! I guess where there’s a will… I wonder what happened to the first Nathan. He was young when he passed away. Thank you for sharing this poignant history!

I can't imagine two parents and six children living in that tiny house.

I would think the ladies would pull their skirts and any long undergarments like petticoats up and away from the fire, perhaps the ladies even wore skirts with two sides, like full slacks, pulled the material to their ankles and strapped it close before confronting a fire. My grandmother, born in the 1880's did wear slacks because women worked alongside the men many times. Skirts for company and public, slacks for everyday work.

Really enjoyed this video and I thank you! History is so important!
