1. [NEBRHeritage-L] udder balm [1]
Actually my friend's pediatrician told her to buy some sort of udder balm (sold in drugstores, grocery stores, etc.) for her baby's diaper rash. It works wonders! Michalene in AZ
2. [NEBRHeritage-L] Early Dwellings [1]
I have been reading the interesting excerpts from Teepees to Soddies. I also checked out the web page which someone suggested (either Nebraska Library or Historical Society) which has a link to the NE Heritage Page. I enjoyed the early photos very much. As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words". I noticed that most of the photos are ca. 1880s. Some show the dwellings of the settlers including, sod houses, stone houses, and some frame houses. My ancestors who were in NE during the 1880s
3. [NEBRHeritage-L] I'm my own grandpa [1]
I'm so glad someone put this on the list. Several years ago when I took up researching seriously, I attended a workshop sponsored by our local LDS library. This poem (I actually think it is a song as I remember hearing it at one time), was read to us and I always wanted the words. During my research, I discovered the daughter of my 5th gr grandfather Francis Matteson, married my 4th gr grandfather, Pasco Whitford in the 1700s. From then on the two families often married (distant cousins). My gr grandfa

I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to better service, and my health to better living for my club, my community and my country. Wish I had a nickle for every time I said it. Mona ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

In our area the town (too small for a city) children were able to keep large livestock at a farm on the edge of town so they were above to show more than rabbits, cooking, canning, etc. Marcia Linda Stewart wrote: > I wanted to answer something that was said earlier.

Has anyone ever noticed how a person who grew up using a well for water drinks? Seems they rinse the cup unless it came out of the cupboard, drink some, and throw the last of the water in the sink or on the ground. We have an old video made from early private movies of some time in Dunbar, in Otoe County, NE, taken in the 20s. A woman is getting a drink at an outside pump, and does just that. And I notice I always throw the last of the water in the sink. Maybe this goes back to when the well w

10. [NEBRHeritage-L] Permanent wave machine [0.984927]
If that was the contraption that had rollers attached to a hood by fat electical cords, then YES, I sure know what that was. When I was about 12 or so my mother decided that I needed curly hair so took me to the local beautician's shop (her front porch) and I had a permanent wave! (or something anyway) I don't know how long I sat there, but distinctly remember the smell of hot, baking hair--mine. As I remember, my hair looked awful and when it was wet I couldn't get a comb through it; when dry, it looke

Hi, Jim! The very best place for you to start is: Denver Public Library Western History Department 10 West 14th Avenue PKWY, Denver, CO 80204 (303) 640-6200 If you explain to them, just as you did here, what you want I'm sure they will do their best to help you. I wrote to them many years ago and they were very helpful. They didn't have what I needed, but they sent many suggestions and all were good ones. Two additional places that might have the records you want are: Colorado Historical Societ

Mona...Mona ....Mona...whatever are we to do with you.......Bill W. Guess who is going to be given a year's supply of corncobs at the next NeGenWeb Meet and Greet.

We were talking today at work about this topic, and one young woman told me that she loves "Mane & Tail" hair shampoo, which originally started out as actually for show horses and cattle when they were prepared for stock shows or county fairs! She has long, flowing hair.........must like a horses mane or tail. :) Mona in Arizona

Haven't seen this one here, so will add it. My mother used what she called a "sugar and soap poltice" to remove slivers or infections. I have even used it, and it does work!! You take a bar of soap (any kind of bath soap), run it under the water to make it a bit soft, scrape a bit off into a teaspoon, add some sugar to make a paste, mixing well. Place it on the sliver or infected area, put a bandage over it, and wait till morning. Sliver is usually gone over night. If not, it has been pulled up enough you

I use whatever the quilt shop or WalMart has. Bag Balm is a pretty can, usually. But the Udder Cream (decorated like a Holstein) does come with a nice dispenser now. Debbie peggy sours wrote: > > I use the udder balm on my sore finger which results when I prick it as > I quilt!

Being a city girl we had all the things like water taps, sink drains, etc., and we even had central heating -- a coal furnace. Also our water was heated in a little tiny hand lit (no pilot light) cast iron water heater. For years we had the good ol' two box ice box and the ice man came three days a week in the summer--two days in summer. Every kid in the neighborhood clamored onto the truck to grab up ice chips that froze our hands before we could eat them. My folks bought their coal and ice from
