| Notes |
My Grandma Sondag
by Marlene Hammes
Grandma’s house was an old house in Harper. She lived with her son – my Uncle Joe. It was heated by a little pot bellied stove in the living room. No bathroom – we had to walk down a path along the garden to get to the “outhouse”. We slept upstairs, where there was no heat, in a bed that had a mattress made of corn husks. And we thought it was wonderful. We got our pajamas on downstairs, sitting behind the stove where it was warm.
Grandma got the fire going in the morning and we grabbed our clothes and ran downstairs and got dressed behind the stove. The door was closed to the kitchen so there was no heat out there. The water in the water pail was frozen. We went to school in Harper. Sometimes Grandma sewed dresses for me and I had to go there after school and stay so she could fit the dress for me.
Grandma always had a big garden and lots of flowers. I remember the lily of the valleys mostly. They smelled so good. And I remember her big strawberry patch. We had strawberries at every meal. She always had homemade bread and good strawberry jam to put on it.
She always came out to the farm on butchering day. The men would butcher several hogs and she helped cut them up. She also cleaned out the intestines that we used for casings for sausage. We had a smoke house and my dad made the best smoked sausage.
My uncle served in WW II. He worked at the booster station. There were houses there that the employees could live in. When he came home they moved to a house at the booster station. It had good heat and a bathroom so Grandma’s life was made much easier. I was happy for her but I never liked that house as well as the old one.
Another thing I remember about the old house. Several times Grandma locked herself out. There was a small window in the pantry. They would open it and I went through it and opened the door from the inside. Grandma was a hard working lady – raising seven children by herself. When Grandpa died she had six children and had another one shortly after his death. She took in washings and did sewing for people to raise her family. I never heard Grandma say one unkind word about anyone. She went to Mass every morning.
After I was married, Uncle Joe would bring her to see me and my family. She was interested in all her great grandchildren. And loved us all.
I had an old picture of Grandma with her seven children. One of the children is my mother. Craig took it home with him, scanned it, cleaned it up in Photoshop, made an enlargement, then made a beautiful frame for it. It is hanging in my living room – it is one of my most prized possessions. Thank you Craig. OBITUARY
