Marie remembers a windmill that had a wooden platform around it. There were a couple loose boards that they could lift up. They had a big bucket tied to a long rope and her folks would put milk, cream and butter into the bucket. They then lowered it down into the well to keep it cool. They did this until they finally were able to get an ice box that would hold a 50 lb. block of ice.
They traveled by horse and buggy, using heated bricks wrapped in newspaper to keep their feet warm. She remembers traveling in snow so deep that the roads were all snowed shut. So they went across the fields, seeing only the tips of the fence posts above the snow as they went."
