Personal Notes:
"It didn’t take me long, as a child growing up in Hillsboro, Kansas, to realize-rain or shine- Monday was wash day. In the early 1930’s we did have running hot water. That didn’t make wash day easy even though it helped. A large “mieragropa” over a burner was used to boil whites. The cement double tubs on legs were used with water for the two rinses after the machine contents were put through the movable wringer. Then toting the wet laundry up the ramp out of the basement to hang up to dry. Is it any wonder wash day lunch was cooked dried butter beans in onion gravy?"
Story from Ethel Harder, Judy Eymann-Taylor’s Aunt. Judy remembers the beans from her youth in Reedley.
