George and Olive Cox

George and his father had some excellent farmland on their property and grew good crops of horse beans, golden tares, peas, oats and other crops. George had a horse team with which he carted wheat and other grains to Harvey's Flour Mill at Deloraine.

Olive was a magnificent cook and became known for her old-fashioned sponges, apple pies and mouth watering pastries. She made beautiful floral bouquets, was a clever seamstress and could run up a smart, tailored suit in no time at all. Olive and George lived in a small cottage on his father's farm, until his father died and his mother retired to live in Deloraine. They then moved into his parents' home until they too retired to Deloraine. George was 81 years of age when he died and Olive was 89.

Wealthier farmers and businessmen in the early 1900's were able to send their daughters to classes, piano playing, singing, millinery, needlework, dressmaking, painting, the violin, besides cookery and other skills. But not so the majority of small farmers. After their schooling their daughters continued at home, helping with the housework, farmyard chores, milking, cooking and sewing. This was the lot of Michael and Charlotte's three daughters. However Charlotte was a good mother and taught her daughters to be efficient and industrious in preparation for becoming homemakers themselves.
