Summary
This book opens a window into the lives of two ordinary people who lived through extraordinary circumstances. Daadi and Mammi Rutt lived through World Wars, depressions, major Church splits, the death of three children, and numerous plagues and illness. Mammi Rutt kept a diary from April 18, 1930, to December 26, 1962. Read along as she covers mundane chores to significant milestones for the Rutt Family and their community. A commentary on the Weaverland Mennonite Conference, also known as "The Horning Church" or "Black Bumper Church" is provided, as well as commentary into the Church's struggle to accept "machines" (automobiles) and the activities of their young people.

Thomas Welsh (1824-1863) was a Lancaster County native (born and raised in Columbia), who rose from hardscrabble origins to local fame, first as a Mexican War hero, and then as a brigadier general during the Civil War. He was well known and well respected as a no nonsense officer, for his leadership and gallantry in battle, for his dedication to the service of his country, and for his concern for the welfare of his men.
