Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 38, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 October 1905 — “Good Mother.” [ARTICLE]

“Good Mother.”

“Whileout st rolling last evening” says a reporter, “we passed a house from which emanated the inspiring strains of.music from a piano and the throat of a charming young lady. ” The only words the reporter caught from the song were something about “dearmother.” P 83ing on and turning down a side street the reporter saw through the kitchen window the dear mother with her arms buried abi ost to the elbow in a pan of dough, the sweat streaming down her wrinkled face and the hot range enveloping her. She was singing: “We’ll Work Till Jesus Comes.”
