"As we had but one pair of shoes for the year, we went barefoot in the stubble and how our feet would bleed. I also helped pick up potatoes for our supply, husked lots of corn and fought the grasshoppers that took our crops.

One day William bought a loaf of white bread from Joseph Wheeler, local baker. He took it home and carefully divided it into ten equal pieces for the ten members of his two families. That was the first white bread any members of the family had tasted for quite some time. Emma remembered that it tasted exceedingly sweet to all of them.
