The Wade House is located is Greenbush, Wisconsin. John Walker became a blacksmith. A blacksmith makes things out of iron like horseshoes. To do so the blacksmith would make a fire. Then put the iron bar in the fire for a little while. Then take it out and hammer it to the shape they want. After that they let it cool in water.

I came to the Wade House as an immigrate from Germany. My family is very poor. So we came to America. As I grew older I became a blacksmith. If my father ever needed  anything he would say “ John can you get me a couple of Oxen shoes?” Once in awhile I would burn myself,boy that hurt.

My brother Jake he helps my father at the sawmill. I get 23¢ a day 30¢ if I’m lucky. My brother gets 18¢. My Mother helps Mrs. Wade in the kitchen. My father works in the sawmill. My brother and   I     sleep in the same room. My mother and father sleep in the rooms across from us. Our lives can be hard at times but we will have to keep our heads high until things change.
