Well, then I had to go look for this, ah, man, the undertaker, for to meet the boat. They were taking the boat at Ottawa, and going way down the Ottawa to this cemetery, and, ah, he had to come from where I got off with a, ah, hearse.

Now this beast is an unseen spirit that people doesn't understand. And why don't they? He smote this beast. He didn't kill him, and he's healed now, and it's him that's causing all this trouble. It's him that's spending all- keeping the people, the peasants, and these money every month. Making a big fool of himself. Gathering the booty among- for to get the people blindfolded, that they can't see them- the devil putting these hog-holders in their grand cars.

I haven't bought I-don't-know-when. I, ah- James-Pinkman, ah, used to give me a, ah- sometimes a good pair of braces. They don't bother putting them on in the- in the casket, eh? Take them off just at the end of the road, for to get the rest of the things.

That's ah- sour cream, that's for making butter. You had to let- you had to let it get sour for to make butter.

And you can ah- you can figure out that I didn't have very much time for to be running around. They- once I got up- quit public-school, I was all the help he had.

But ah 'round here there wasn't m-- much- very many cows- milk-cows you-know. They didn't any have any way for to work with us.

Bear steak. I never had it but- I have had muskrat but ah just had it for to say I ate it you-know.

Speaker: We'd maybe buy bran bread- Interviewer: Mm-hm. Speaker: Like bran and uh, but not very often I don't think we'd run out of bread because uh, she was very good at uh- for to- keep things- Interviewer: Keep the supplies ahead. Yes.

And in nineteen- nineteen-seventeen uh, all the able bodied men were- were overseas, so they're taken on boys any ages for to work in the mills.

Oh, mostly ironware. Frying pans, and pots for potato- for cooking potatoes and vegetable, and ah- a big iron pot for cooking what we need for to feed hens or- or-that, um-

Oh, they were- I think they were mostly log-buildings, and um, they had what they called scoops or-something on the roof, I-don't-know, hollowed-out logs, for to- and they put the hollowed log down with the scoo-- ah the hollow up- and then they put another log over two of them, to close the- the space between.

And then you'd have the neighbours in so many- oh, not- maybe eight, ten men or-something-like-that, less than threshing- and um, they carried the poles to the saw, and there were saw- and the wood was left like that, and then in the summertime, in spare time, it was split into smaller sticks for to put in the cook-stove.

And then there was a poisonous, a kind of a felt-like there, and dark, and it had some kind of a liquid, and you put a little water and-that, and put it on the- on a plate, and put it around, and it poisoned flies, the flies would eat it and be poisoned. But then later on, however, farming, we had sprays for the barns and everything for to keep them down.

Speaker: Now he came from a-way out ah- do you know where you go through the Turtle-Lake-Road to go on out to Rosseau? Interviewer: Yeah. Speaker: Ah Rickford's-corner? Interviewer: Don't know exactly where that is but I know the road. Speaker: Ah, yeah. Well you just go on out along there and it comes out just- do you know where um Johnny-Jenkins lives out there? Interviewer: Yeah. Speaker: Well it comes out just this side of that. And that's where he came in from out there with a team of horses for to pick up the stuff at the- But how often now the trains run, every twenty minutes.

Interviewer: And- but Buckhorn was pretty safe? Speaker: Yeah it wasn't too bad, it was- it was hard to get someone to come and pick you up for- for to do something but ah it wasn't ah- it wasn't made fun of.

And I mean it's not uncommon to pay for to go see Aerosmith or-something to pay a hundred dollars for a ticket, so in- in Toronto.

Speaker: I remember asking my mom for- like "Mom, can I borrow five-bucks for to go out tonight?" and her not knowing that, you-know, I could get- what- how much is an O-E of beer? Like that's- like a litre (laughs) Interviewer: It- Speaker: For three-dollars? Interviewer: It- it was less than six-bucks.

Interviewer: Yeah. Um, what kind of food do you like to make? Speaker: Ah, I-think breakfast is probably one of my favourite meals to cook for to be honest. I love doing- I love doing brunches and breakfast and-that-kind-of-thing.

Couldn't he-- I couldn't help it. I was going too fast and- for to stop it or move out of the way then.

Interviewer: So is it your job to go in the- in the- Speaker: In the maw? Fo-- for to- to trap the hay down you mean? Interviewer: Yeah. Interviewer: Yeah.
