Kitchen. Much of the food in this home was produced in the Carters' fields, garden, pasture, and yard. Cooking and canning using the wood cookstove made meal preparation an extensive process. The heat from the woodstove added warmth to the home during the cold winters but was not as welcome in the hot summer. As a nurse, "Miss Lillian" was a strong advocate of eating well to stay healthy. Archery neighbors who visited the Carter home fondly remember Miss Lillian making sure they left with a plate of food because she did not want anyone to be hungry. |
