Rings, pictures created by families in mourning

D

EATH WAS AN IMportant part of life in the 19th century. Life expectancy was 38 to 44 years, and many babies died at birth or before they were a year old. Mourning and the rituals that accompanied a death were very important, and lasted about a year. There was a funeral, attended by friends and family, often held at home, and burial in a family plot in the yard if there was no nearby cemetery. Black clothing was worn for the year of mourning; even the jewelry was made with black stones. Pictures, in some cases mirrors, were covered, and weekly visits to a religious service to say prayers were expected.

The next few years also included some objects that took time to make, like mourning rings and memorial pictures often created by a close relative. The picture used symbols of death and life after death. A church, tombstones, anchor, lily of the valley, forget-menots, urns, weeping willow trees, a coffin, candles, skulls, oak leaves and of course, angels and the cross were part of the language.

Collectors of folk art search for painted or embroidered mourning pictures that include some of these symbols and information about the deceased, including name, date of death and location. Many are signed

sands of the cookie jars were made. They were not made after the mid-1950s. The Chef, in fleck blue or fleck pink, was the only one made in 1956.

These are harder to find, and they sell for the highest prices today. The yellow Chef cookie jar has sold online at retail for $20 to $60, the blue version for $30 to $77. Friar Tuck sells for $20 to $30 in yellow, $58 to $60 in blue.

by the artist. The framed picture here was sold at a Skinner auction. It pictured willows, an urn, a tombstone, black dress, church, flowers and a weeping relative. The inscription on the tombstone says “Amos Tyler.” Research found he died in 1829, probably in Massachusetts, at the age of 38.

Red Wing Pottery began making Pierre the Chef (later just called Chef), Friar Tuck (a monk), and Katrina (a Dutch girl) cookie jars in 1941. The cookie jars were made in blue, yellow and tan. Green cookie jars were added to the line in the mid- to late 1940s. Thou-

Rain not always in right place at right time

D

URING AN ENTIRE year, a meager three-hundredths of an inch of rain falls on Arica, Chile, yet halfway across the Pacific in the Hawaiian Archipelago, Mount Waialeale receives a sopping 460 inches. Here in the northeastern U.S., we have a congenial climate for growing plants — at least those plants we enjoy in our gardens — during our spring to fall growing season.

We average about 4 inches of rainfall each month throughout the year, and

this amount complements nicely the inch of water per week recommended for most garden plants. Four inches of rainfall each month is more than enough water to supply the 33 gallons used by a tomato plant, the 54 gallons needed by a corn plant, even the 1,800 gallons quaffed by a single large apple tree!

So much for theory. Problem is that rain is not always in the right place at the right time.

A-frame cabin a dream come true

I

F YOU’VE EVER dreamed of having a vacation home — a private retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life — but dismissed it as impossible, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. It’s not as difficult as you might think to make that dream a reality, even on a budget. All it takes is “sweat equity,” time and this do-ityourself A-frame cabin project.

Standing on concrete piers to simplify construction and

allow for variability of terrain, the project has more than 1,100 square feet of living space (not including the extensive decks and porches).

Downstairs there’s a kitchen, bathroom, large living room and small bedroom. Upstairs, a big loft holds a roomy, dormitory-style bedroom.

The cabin measures about 36 feet long by 22 feet wide at the foundation.

The Cochise Cabin plan, No. 620, is $9.95. The plan covers

every aspect of construction, including detailed floor plans, cross-sections and elevations, framing plans, a complete materials list with space for obtaining price quotes and a toll-free help line for project questions. Do-it-yourselfers should review local building codes before construction begins. Please include $3.95 for postage and handling on all orders and allow about two weeks for delivery.

THANK YOU

AMERICA for Another Great Year Team Member Kara, her daughter Naraya and their neighbor Kaylee from the story.

OPEN LETTER TO AMERICA After three months of hearing about “worst case scenarios,” “the new normal,” and listening to Americans criticizing Americans it is refreshing and heartwarming to see all kinds of ordinary citizens coming together to help and inspire one another during a global pandemic.

I came to America for economic reasons and fell in love with a warm, optimistic and loving country that offered hope to a young Irish immigrant. For the last 6 years Yankee has taken out full pages in local newspapers to express my gratitude to a country that has provided me so much, while pointing out what some might not notice, especially during these last few weeks.

Ger’s wife Anna showing the famous Jake the ins and outs of his new iphone.

For example, a Springfield covid-19 nurse returns home at midnight after a 12 hour shift to see her home in flames. A Yankee Home team member Kara Mainville steps up to take in the nurse’s daughter who lives on her street, who is now temporarily without a home. The community rallies and comes together to help this family rebuild by generously contributing to their Gofundme page.

Americans looking out for Americans.

Then there’s the unstoppable, 85 year old Ruth Willemain continuing to push forward with her dream of building Harmony House, a home where people could live out the last few days of their lives with dignity. Part Mother Theresa, part Clint Eastwood she rallied and inspired the many volunteers at great personal risk. She plowed forward with her handmade purple mask, social distancing all the while. I am incredibly honored to be a part of a truly inspirational person’s dream. The local community volunteering and donating their resources during this crisis is a testament to America.

Cut off from my homeless friend Jake (theJakeStory.com) for 3 months all the while following Philadelphia death tolls and wondering if he made it. Then a collect call, Jake warning me and my wife Anna not to come down. His explanation of what was going on in his hometown, not knowing it was global, warmed my heart, grounded me and made me count my blessings even more.

As Yankee Home has grown over the years we have received many calls and letters from these yearly July 4th pontifications, none more poignant than from Jerry Lucey. Now framed in our office, he wrote an impassioned letter reiterating my views of America. He recalls returning from Vietnam and getting spat on while marching down Tremont Street in Boston. This didn’t stop his love of his country. Nor I guess will a pandemic.

The wonderful board of Harmony House meeting at Yankee all dedicated to Ruth’s mission.

This immigrant’s view of America remains unchanged. While not perfect, this country we call home is still that optimistic, warm and loving place he set foot on decades ago.

Thanks for reading. Thank You America. Happy July 4th, and God bless her as She rebuilds.

Ger Ronan (President)
