Notebook
Ida Bisser
Somehow over the years we tend
not to really see what we “see"
everyday. Whether it be a box on
the back of a table, a chair in a
corner or even the house in which
we live.
A few days ago a couple from
Texas stopped at our house. They
Melt butter in saucepan; add
onion and celery. Saute vegetables
until tender. Stir in flour and in
stant bouillon until smooth.
Remove from heat; gradually add
milk. Bring to boil over medium
heat, stirring constantly. Boil and
stir one minute. Blend in peanut
butter. Serve immediately. If soup
thickens, add additional milk.
were inquiring about an old
Weidler homestead as the wife was
a descendant of the Weidlers. She
had done a lot of research, over a
period of years, in the Lancaster
County courthouse, local
cemeteries and other historical
records. Now she expects to
publish a book in the near future.
As they took pictures and ex
claimed over the old hardware and
the chair rails in our home, it made
me look anew at the original
Christian doors and stone sill. The
built-in comer cupboard with its
butterfly shelves and slits for
silver spoons was appreciated
anew. They were amazed at the
tiny spiral stairway that is a
replica of the one in the Betsy Ross
house in Philadelphia. The comer

fireplace that works like a charm
and the large walk-in fireplace in
the kitchen with its many antiques
was also fascinating to them.
I knew that Hans Michael
Weidler came across in 1727 and
the third generation built our brick
house in 1813. But, I didn’t know
the dimensions of the first log
house in the meadow near our
present hand dug well. This first
dwelling was 25’x30’ and with a
later stone addition only had three
windows. This was due to the tax
on the number of windows and the
record was taken from the U.S.
Direct Tax list of 1798, The in
ventories of household goods was
very interesting and included
pewter spoons and plates, yard
goods, tools, brass kettle, cole
slawer and bedding.
I can hardly imagine what it was
like in the early 1700’s to settle here
in Lancaster County along the
Conestoga.
Low in calories
Results of a nutritional study
recently released by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture in
dicate that pork has fewer calories
than previously believed: 197 per 3-
ounce serving. This compares to
214 calories in beef, 221 calories in
lamb, 162 calories in turkey and 144
calories in chicken. Pork also is
high in thiamine and iron, as well
as other vitamins and minerals.
