Typical Daily Chores for Truman

These were some of Harry's childhood daily chores. He milked cows morning and nightly and he carried the milk to the cooler. Harry had to wash the dishes every day. During the winter he had to split the wood and he had to carry it to the wood box behind the stove. As you see these chores are very different than the ones we have today.
