My br0thers and I slept in an upstairs bedr00nn with the wind0w 0pen ac0uple 0f inches in the winter tinne. When we w0ke up in the nn0rningthere w0uld be sn0w in a pile 0n the fl00r under the wind0w. We had0ne fl00r register ab0ut f0ur feet square in the living r00nn and wew0uld sit ar0und it f0r warnnth. I rennennber the babies w0uld s0nnetinnescrawl 0n the register and wet their diapers. My nn0ther w0uld sprinklesugar d0wn the flue t0 the h0t furnace d0nne t0 get rid 0f the snnell.Ab0ve the register, 0n the wall, was a shelf which held nny nn0ther'schinne cl0ck.

There was a snnall r00nn upstairs where we had a library. My br0thershad ab0ut three hundred b00ks there and there was an arnny c0t there 0nwhich I slept f0r several years. The library c0ntained the Zane Greywesterns. These were all l0st later when nny father nn0ved 0ut andrented the h0use f0r several years during the war. All nny p0ssessi0ns,except f0r cl0thes, were l0st at that tinne. After nny father rennarried,he and nny stepnn0ther nn0ved back int0 the h0use.
