Mom's First Kitchen

4-30-2010

This would have been my mother's kitchen from 1942 until 1949. Remember during this time the Great Depression had just ended and WWII was taking place. She recieved the dreaded telegram that her husband had been killed in the Far East and she was left with three children. She would in a short while marry the brother of that husband. He was six years younger and would also go off to war. The younger man would end up being my father. The balsam rafters are the original rafters, the walls are the original logs. The cabin was taken apart, logs, rafters were numbered and it was moved to its' present site. The water pail would freeze each night in the kitchen because of lack of insulation.
