Hi, I’m John, I work at a blacksmith shop. I came from England  to Wisconsin. I have one wife thats it and the trip was long to me. Once we came a pond the Wade house  I got a job as a blacksmith. It was successful my wife found friends I also found friends too!

I use iron to make stuff. I make horseshoes  and oxen shoes and other stuff. People who live or work at the Wade house think I’m helpful. I see a lot of friends at my shop. I wonder why I never see my wife?

When i  live at the Wade house I get paid 25 cents or more because I’m the only blacksmith around. I can get paid enough to get abed and a meal but one more thing Mrs.Wade is so nice he gives use a second mattress and I also live on the third floor I let my wife sleep on the bed and I just sleep on the floor with the mattress. I’m having a good life,I also like being a blacksmith too!

The hard thing about being a blacksmith is that I don’t get that much days off besides   Sunday. On Sunday I spend most of my time with my wife than I go to the barroom. The barroom the barroom is strictly for men only!. The barroom has two names the taproom and the saloon. But than I need to go back to work. Whoops it looks like I’m running out of ink so I got to go, hope I see you here at the
wade house good bye for now!
