Dangers, Hardships and Thrilling Incidents

Charlotte Ormsby, daughter of Freeman Wilcox, a pioneer of Albany, says (1885): "I have plowed, sowed grain and reaped for days. One season I put out a piece of flax. I plowed the ground, harrowed it, sowed it, pulled the flax, broke it, hatcheled it, spun and wove it. I learned the art of making shoes and not only repaired and made new ones for my own family but met the wants of the neighborhood in this line. Tapping men's boots was not a difficult task. I have gone visiting on horseback without bridle or saddle and taken three of the children with me.
