They also kept approximately twenty children from the neighborhood for up to several months and at times as long as a year...In 1958, Mabel 'Mama' Heller was recognized by the Lancaster Children's Bureau of Lancaster County for her involvement with the Children's Bureau in the raising of forty children at the Heller farm in Narvon Pennsylvania."

This is a transcript of a Pennsylvania German talk presented at Muddy Creek Farm Library, Farmersville (Ephrata), Pennsylvania, on September 4, 2015.
Excerpt: "The main thing this evening will be [another] nice talk by...Alan Keyser having to do once again with old Pennsylvania Dutch foodways...Now, the last time I spoke...I described where folks used to eat and how they ate. This time I want to talk a bit about where and how they cooked their food and did their baking, and also about the use of smokehouses." The conversation discusses hearth cooking and all it requires: firewood, pots and pans, and chimney cleaning.
