Memories from Billy Rose - Father made a strong liquor from a grain and named it "Red Eye", it was made from plums. It was so strong it made a hole in Mom's table, it was good stuff and of course very strong. This was during the prohibition period and making grain alcohol was illegal at the time. One time father was making his brew and he was caught doing this by local authorities (to the families embarrassment) :-). He was scolded and was made to destroy his machine for making "Red Eye", a note was put in the local paper about this. Both parents were found of thier beer and wine.

Dad never took much of a role in raising the kids, never changed a diaper. Most family decisions were made by mom. Dad was almost timid around the house, Mom (Margaret) ruled the roost and dad handled all the outside chore and handled the farming, and making the liquor.

They had horses, cows, pigs and chickens and grew most of their own food. Hunting was a big thing. Lamoine, Clarence and James were all big hunters, geese and pheasants mostly. There were lots of shot guns and rifles around in that time. Lamoine almost blew his toe off one time, shot his shot gun into the porch by accident one day and just missed his foot. It left a big hole in the porch, which was never repaired.

Dances were a big thing. Often times this is where you met your future spouse.

Farm house was at Section 19, the north edge of Mooreton, ND a couple of miles out if town. It burned down around July 4th 1930, Billy Rose and the rest of the family watched as the house burn down, there was no way to put out such a fire in those days. One of the boys (Clarence or James) had tossed a sparkler onto the roof and it started a fire.

Lucille and Orville built a large wooden dance floor and had a wedding dance at the farm, Billy Rose was one of the flower girls (about 4 yrs. old at the time). It was considered a big dance in those days.

Memories from Bev. - Grandfather claimed he only drank "Old Style" beer. He played the spoons on his knee and loved to jig and old time dance.
