The Cookinghams of Primrose Hill Farm

Description

by Viola Cookingham Schoch & Norene Duthie Coller

Viola Cookingham Schoch tells of growing up on a farm in Pleasant Plains that passed through many generations of the Cookingham family. She remembers farming with her family – driving the draft horses, hand-milking the cows, and cooling the milk with ice stored from the previous winter. She cites life on the farm before electricity, the telephone, and the automobile. Viola also writes about early generations of her family and of life during World War II. Many vintage photographs are included.
