Hoosick Falls, New York

After Weston and I got married we moved to Hoosick Falls, New York. We lived on a very nice farm while we worked (I may have fed a few chickens) on the farms. This guy who owned the farm, he was a rich guy, raised very fancy chickens for breeding stock. They were shipped everywhere. The farmer had a very nice home near us, we lived in a small cottage home. It was a lovely little house, I could have made more of it. I babysat for the little son of the farmer. There were cows, a few. Weston milked the cows and we got the milk. We also got to eat the eggs from the fancy chickens (if they were cracked or not perfect). I liked it there and we lived there just about a year. We did not have a car. The boss had a big Packard he would lend to us. We got there by train from Boston. Weston and I went to the Methodist Church in Hoosick Falls. I went to the church women's club. The house had most of it's furniture but we did buy a few things. I made curtains. In the spring and summer there were flowers and I believe we grew some vegetables. I know we went home for the holidays and my mother came out once. When we came home Weston worked in Antrim, New Hampshire at a woodworking factory.
