- (continued from previous page)Fortunes were very small in olden times, sometimes only a couple of heifers.
Some parents used to marry three or four sons and keep themselves and their wives - living in with themselves - of course, they drew in a fortune with every one of them. Then, when a suitable holding offered, they bought it and settled down one pair in a home of their own. They did the same for the others.
Now, all these women were very agreeable. Dinner was cooked for all in the one pot. The old people still remained the bosses. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
