I bet they HAD beef cattle, those longhorns in Texas, for one thing, were not raised to produce milk, nor was their milk ever utilized. However I really think that the average poor farmer had just one or two cows, and each year the cow would have a calf, having been impregnated by teh bull down the road, and the calf was fattened up and eventually butchered. The cow produced milk as a result of having a calf and that also fed the family. I wonder if at times cattle also helped pull the family plow.

Yes, and they had horrible foot problems. After wearing straight-last shoes for a while the uppers conformed somewhat to the shape of the foot. Here is a short overview but they lingered for a while after 1851: Until the 1830's, the average person wore straight last shoes- shoes that were not fitted for right and left feet. The complexities and cost of carving compound curves into the last (the form that the shoe is molded over) and then making a mirror image for the other foot limited ownership of such shoes to the very rich. Colonial shoes were stiff leather shoes, with slight heels and buckles, but advances in shoemaking and the roots of the shoe industry in the U.S. began in Massachusetts.In 1828 a foreman by the name of Blanchard at the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts developed a duplicating lathe for the manufacture of gun stocks. A Philadelphia shoemaker thought that Blanchard's new duplicating lathe was also ideal for making shoe lasts and soon discovered that, by reversing the cam which guided the cutter, a mirror image could be produced. Since a wooden last gets chewed up by tack holes in a few hundred uses, there was a constant demand for new lasts and soon all new lasts were made in left and right mirror images. By 1841 the U.S. military was using left/right shoes. By 1851 left/rights were officially specified.

The shoe maker would custom make the shoes for each family member. I would guess there was growing room allowed for children. They may have worn some ill-fitting shoes but probably not very often. I'd think that it was just like nowadays. If the shoe maker did a poor job, he wouldn't be welcome back and word would get around to neighbors of his poor craftsmanship.

I'm entering the enlistments of Co.H, 9th Regt. now and so far I have 48 "bootmakers" mentioned as their occupations. One clerk, a wagoner and that's it. The names are Irish and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with that part of Worcester Co.'s history as to a name of the Boot/shoe manufacturer? Being half Irish and my Dad's people may have worked there at one time. This is in the 1861 time period. Thank you.

Hi Jackie, A quick census look shows a large SALTUS family in Worcester in 1910: SALTUS, FRANCOIS (1910 U.S. Census) MASSACHUSETTS , WORCESTER, 7-WD WORCESTER Age: 42, Male, Race: WHITE, Born: VT Series: T624 Roll: 633 Page: 24 I can't read the wife's name, but it's something like Milessa (sp?). They had been married for 21 years and had 13 children, but 12 live. This was a VT family but the children were born much later than Lillian. I'm not finding the SALTUS (and 6 different spellings) in MA in 1880. But, I'm finding an Edward SALTUS in Westfield in 1900 with a wife, Lillie, 23. They had been married for 5 years and had one young son. It said this Lillie was born in 1877. They were from MA families. Betty (near Lowell, MA) One interesting note: That couple lived beside the "Noble Hospital" in Westfield, and living nearby was a large NOBLE family. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie" <jp55@wt.net> To: <maworces@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 8:57 PM Subject: [MAWORCES] Mental patient >I am searching for the marriage of LILLIAN SALTUS to a Mr. O'NEILL. > Lillian was born in Springfield 7 Oct 1879.
