My Mother
Elizabeth Reynolds 1879-1946 Mom was born on the farm north of Bethel on September 10, 1879. As a child she attended a one room schoolhouse in which all grades from on to twelve were combined. She remembered the days of her childhood and told of being at Grandfather Richards, how he would get melons from the field, cool them in a springhouse then break them open. They would only eat the heart and throw the rest to the hogs. She also told that when the thrashers would come through how grandpa would go to Bethel and get fresh beef at the butcher shop, which was a welcome change from salt meat and chicken. When they moved to Cincinnati she attended public school until the 8th grade which then was considered enough schooling. Mom was the best of mothers but she was the one who did the spanking, not Dad and she wasn't one to hold back on the razor strap. She was the heart of the entertainment, was a wonderful cook and enjoyed company. She would set and decorate dinners on trestles in the basement for crowds that Norma had and to all of them she was Aunt Betty. We had chickens and quite often fried or stewed chicken for company or squabs with dressing. Saturday was market day and we would drive to Grandma Jansens or to Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds then walk from there to the Court House getting prices as we went, then back, picking up what looked the best at the most reasonable price. In those days the market extended from the Court House to Freeman Ave. and mom was a good shopper. The last stop was the Pork house just below Freeman Ave. on Gest St. where a ham or a pork loin was purchased which would serve either as the meat for a party, company, or a picnic. Mom had a steamer to cook the ham which took much of the salt out of it and she was famous for the way she prepared it. Before Mom and I married my mother would put away things for us and we had some very good cookware for one thing which we still use today. Dad loved to go to Church festivals and Mom went along. Dad was a good spender but at the time when someone bought 21 for a $1.00 and lined them up Dad would really enjoy a free one, but Mom was strictly non-alchoholic. One night Dad called to tell us Mom was very sick. She was a big woman, slightly taller than Dad and weighed close to 200 lbs. Her heart gave out on her. Agnes took care of her and would go over and clean and do the wash. Later when her heart was good her kidneys were bad and when Dad died Mom just didn't care to live. As long as he was around she had a zest for life. After a ten year illness she died.
