Adams County, Way Back When— Before 1890 A “Story” Made lip o*to Group Os Stories About Pioneer Life And Events Which, Collectively, Go To Make Up The Interesting Bistory Os The County. By French Quinn.

An Era of Prosperity In 1874, Decatur was in an era of real prosperity. Her stores were well stocked and buying was brisk. Doctors had all they could do and the lawyers wore silk hats. The livery business was good and Alex Bell and Railing & Burger had a fleet of horses and a garage full of buggies that hired at a dollar for a half day and two dollars from sun up to midnight and horses guaranteed to "go as far as the road is cut out." Mr. Bell had a team of "Buckskin” ponies during the 70's (and how they lasted that long is to wonder) that were fleet of foot and of a stamina that was remarkable. My father liked to drive that team and from the day that I was weaned up until that team went into decrepitude, 1 accom- i panied my father on many a ride, hither and thither, to justice of the peace courts and out into the wilderness where lie would go perhaps to make some worn out pioneers will or some ' other legal business that might be pressing. Those old pioneers were hard to kill those days and the pity of it was that their tough old bodies succumbed slowly to the ravages of disease and like dying giant oaks they often lingered in uumbling impotence long after activity was denied them. This was not so true of the women however and it was one of the stark tragedies of the early period that so many of the mothers of that day. bearer of a large number of children, worn out with unremitting toil, succumbed quickly, many times leavings large family of little children One of the saddest things of the toil of those days was that cabins were aways located on a bit of high ground and the barns also and of course the pioneer had to dig his well on the low ground and usually the shallow dug well would be several hundred feet from the cabin. How many mothers toiled with their buckets of water from the well to the cabin, up hill of course, is an unhappy thing to remember. It was astonishing to what extent it developed that so many of the pioneers were remarried, maybe, two or three times and had several sets of children. Without a doubt love ruled with those wonderful people but nevertheless a young lady strong of wind and limb with a record of good cookery and efficient ability in the duties of house and field had qualifications that were never overlooked. Hard labor was worshipped as a god and industry was the major virtue to he cultivated by each living soul and he who was inclined to shirk in the labor that made the sweating brow descended to the very depths of the social scale. Storekeeping was a mighty friendly affair in the old days and at the beginning of the 70's Mother Magdalena Bremercamp, Old Lady Cast, Charlie Schirmeyer, and Funkes operated dry goods stores more in the nature of general stores and fathered and mothered all and sundry. In my mind’s eye I can see Mother Bremercamp, sharp, shrewd, with a world of ability, rather a heavy old lady, sitting in state In the bosom of her store, greeting clients and loved relatives, solicitous of their welfare, giving them the gossip of the day and receiving in return the intimate news of the different neighborhoods, rejoicing with the happy and sorrowing with the afflicted, advising extent and quality of purchases (as if she was doing the purchasing rather than the customer), switching from perfect English to perfect German as the situation demanded. No beneficent queen ever sat on her throne with sweeter authority nor with more loyal adherents and her sagacity and strictly honorable conduct of all affairs gave her many years of a reign. Jesse Niblick and John Crawford opened up a store of the same kind about that time and did their part In pathering the prolitariat. Louis Con ter Anthony Holthouse, Henry Voglewede, and Heury Wtunes took care of th eboot aud shoe trade and if you have never njade the acquaintance of a cow hide boot you have been spared some of the unhappiness of life. Boot jacks were as necessary as boots aud when freezing weather was

on and the boots had gotten wet the bootjack was a cursed necessity for the wrinkles around the boot ankles got hardened up and putting on and taking off the boots “was some chore.” Some folks kept a barrel of mutton tallow to soften up the boots.
