As I Remember "Mamma"

"As I Remember Mamma" is a captivating narrative of life on a small farm in the early 1900s based upon the life of Sophia Grimpo Schumaker and the Schumacher families. Waldo Schumaker tells of life in a German immigrant farming community in southern Illinois through his drawings, stories and family photos. His stories are fascinating and take us back to a time when the community, church, friends and family all worked together to manage life without today's technology. He describes one room school life, church confirmation, hog butchering, threshing rings, their first telephone, getting a Model-T, and their first outhouse. The cycle of birth, life, marriage, sickness and death are all told through Waldo's stories and drawings.
