A, a place in which to live, work, buy, build and vacation and enjoy the free democratic way of life that is our American Heritage.
History of Early Manufacturers
Years luter and throughout the Coloniul Period,
the minning wheel and tbe loom furnished employ- i
ment during much of tbe year for the manufacture
of homespun wool and flux being taken In their
crude form and worked Into cloth for the family and
into various fabrics for household IIBO , such as table
linen, bedspreads, etc. At the beginning, however,
deerskin was made Into clothing, but it does not
appear that this kind ot clothing was used many
years.
Plenty ot Shoes
Amos Otis says, "Many ot the first settlers were
tanners and shoemakers, and none suffered for want
ot covering for the feet." Mr. Otis , describing the
more subitantial frame houses of the well-to-do in
those early days, says, "The better class of houses
cost only twenty or twenty-flve pounds. They were
all built , except the fortification houses of one story,
two stories high , with very sloping roor8 because a
flat roof with straw or thatch would not shed water.
The poRts were twelve or fourteen feet long, the
1 lower story finished about seven feet in the cleur
and the upper about six. They all fronted due South ,
and the great room, or parlor, occupied the South-
west corner. A bed often occupied the northeast cor-
ner of this room and looms the southwest.
The firepluc e was on the west side and was
usually four feet deep. The lire was kindled in the
center, leaving ample chimney comers,—-a luxury
now unknown , -where the younger members of the
famil y had coinfortuhle seuts in the cold weather
and could gaze at the slars through the chimney
|flue. The oven opened Into the buck part ot the Are-
I place on the left-hand side. The place of the mistress
of the house was on the right-hand Bide near the
kettle In the corner. The muster 's place was a large
arm-chair or roundabout placed directly in front of
the lire."
Open Fires Good
And then Mr. Otis remarks , "The fashionable uow
discuss the merits of furnaces ami patent stoves,
but If you have plenty of wood und want to enjoy
good health and take comfort in old Winter weather ,
hulld an old-fashioned fire, Them is no stove equal
to it."
Mrs. Harriet needier Stowe , whose husband ,
Rev. Dr. Galvin Stowe, preached the sermon in this
church when It was rededlcated in 1852, speaks in
one of iier "House and Homo Papers" of fifty years
ago of the Crowlleld' s blazing wood lire as their
household altar , whose wholesome hearty crackle Is
the truest household inspiration. However , noted for.
frugality and thrift were tho men and women who
settled here In West Barnstable, they were what Is '
called "good livers. " They hud a keen appreciation
of the higher pleasures of the tuble. Cape Cod women
have always excelled in household ecomics and
especially In the art of cooking.
The Simple Life
What was true or Colonial Massachusetts In
general was equally (rue in the homes of our fore-
fathers here in the section then known as the "Great
• Marshes." One of the early writers says, "In the
morning, the early New England farmer and his
family were wont to sit down to their breakfast
of bean porridge or hasty-pudding and milk. "Rye
and Indian" was the staff of life. Dinner consisted
of boiled beef and pork , wild game with potatoes,
followed by turnips , sump or succotash , und Indian
pumpkin pie being always the favorite articles of I
net, Pumpkins were very highly regarded UB food. I
one native rhymster , referring to their ulmost dally *
-
use, wrote, "We have pumpkins at morning and i_
pumpkins at noon; it it were not for pumpkins, we
should be undone." Supper was also a substantial
meal, though generally taken cold. Baked beaiiB, a
favorite Sunday dish, baked lndlau pudding, and
Rye and Indian bread taken hot from huge brick
ovens adjacent to the fireplace , were standard dishes.
Johnny-cake was another distinctly New Eng-
land form of food. It wai really "j ourney-cake", io- L
called became It wai the chief diet of our fore-
lathers , when they went on long horseback Journeys, f-
They Used Pewter Dishes
Very interesting to the eye waB the table ot
those early days with HB pewter dishes brightened
to their utmost polish. The mistresses of those
times used to be marvels of housekeepers. The pew-
ter dishes Handing in orderly rows on the shelf of
the open cupboard or of the dainty buttery were *""
hardly more brightly polished than the sanded floors. —
Few of us to the manner born fall to remember
the brick-oven , requiring for Its heating on Satur-
day, the usual baking day, large quuntltles of pine
wood, which It was the duty of tho hoys of the
family to prepare. This method of baking brown
bread and Indian pudding lusted tor more than two
hundred years, und Verhaps there nro still some
riinillies in West Barnstable who follow the ancient L
custom, The fragrance from tho old brlck-ovon when
the door was thrown open after tho hours when its —
contents underwent the slow process ot cooking Is
to this day a delightful memory for a great many
people .
It we had time,—which wo have not,—we could
speak ot tbe furniture which , In Colonial duys, was
found In most of the West Uuriislublo households,
Nearly every family owned one or more chests,
sometimes painted red nnd brought from over the *-
Ben. These wore UBOII for storing of blankets , coin- ,_
forlcrs , quilts und other bedding,
Then there was the tall clock ot English or
Dutch manufacture, which stood In the kitchen or
hallway and reached nearly to tho colling. The first
plooli In Now England Is supposed lo have boon that
of John Davenport of the Net' Haven Colonlel who
died In 1670. Clocks In Coloniul limes wore vory ex-
pensive, costing more than twenty pounds. |_
Hour Glasses for Clocks r-
llour-glussos were in common use, not only In
the high pulpit of the meeting-houso , so that the ser-
mons would not be more than two hours long, but
also in many homes. Some of the Colonial house-
wives timed their cooking, which hud to be counted
hy minutes rather than hours, hy singing hymns ,—
one stanza of n hymn eight lines long being sufficient
for the boiling of an egg properly. L
Tho great round-chulr-tuble , still to bo seen lu r-
somo West Harnstnhle homes, was In dally use both
as a talile and , after the meal whon tho lop was
turned back , as u broad arm-chair. Tho woallhlor
families owned high-hoys and low-hoys and curved
chests and high posted bedB. Now und then a carpel
would rollove tho baroness of a living-room floor.
Someone tells of a carpet of canvas painted by tho
owner, a thrifty woman, in a gorgeous pattern of .
blue roses and green lilies. This led lo an old deacon '
who called to say, "Surely Sister Brown, you do not ["
