She scrubbed it everyday until it was white. Every year she papered the bedroom with flour paste and newspaper. The layers of newspapers grew so years later when they decided to cut a window in the bedroom the carpenter claimed he ruined his handsaw blade trying to cut through so many layers of newspaper. The legs of the beds were all set in a can of kerosene to keep bed bugs from crawling up the bed legs(Irvin and Darwin Crane) Jennie had a back bedroom where she worked her quilts. Jennie always had five or more quilts going at one time. She never wasted a piece of material. Many beautiful quilts were made out of feed sacks. Jennie made a quilt for each of her 10 children. and 41 grandchildren and for many of her nieces and nephews. Jennie made my sister, a log cabin quilt and myself one out of squares. My quilt has my name and birth date in the corner. On most of Jennie's quilts she would embroidery the place where she made it and the date. Her quilts definitely are a valued heirloom. " Jennie's scrapbooks contained obituaries from the family, friends and neighbors. The obituaries and articles found in the family history portion of the book are from Jennie's scrapbook. Jennie also collected many interesting stories and poems in these scrapbooks. Jennie made her scrapbooks out of old pattern or sample books. R.S. has these books and they have provided our family with hours of entertainment. I've spent hours pouring over these scrapbooks and still always discover something new. Calling cards, and calendars are also a part of these scrapbooks." (Crane Cookbook page 7-8)
