Working for Farms, Maple Syrup, and Being Called to Serve

In this episode Noah talks about different jobs they did for other farms, about the school he attended and also when he was called to serve in the church.

We start by talking about the farm they lived on with only 2 pastures and 10 cows. And then grandpa tells us about a landmark within Central Illinois, Rockome Gardens. My grandpa remembers working on their land to paint fence posts and we'll also hear him tell a story about the Al Brown farm where they made maple syrup.

Thank you for listening to my grandpa tell you just a few of his stories he remembers from when he was a growing up and as a young adult.

One story that he shared with me was the first time he had to sing a solo in school.  I can't tell you the first solo I ever sing, but obviously his was extremely memorable.
Thank you again for listening and join me for each episode as we explore the stories of Noah Helmuth, the way he remembers them. Have a great day.

What is Stories the Way I Remember Them - The Stories of Noah Helmuth?

Noah Helmuth was born into an amish community in central Illinois in the 1920's. He grew up a farmer, left the amish church, started a business and travelled throughout the midwest and midatlantic region of the US as a minister.

In 2019 I sat down with my grandpa and interviewed him over several days about the stories of his life. This podcast is his stories...the way he remembers them.

Sadly, Noah died on January 12, 2021.

I'm posting this podcasts as my memorial to him so that others can hear the stories that he loved to tell.

I love you grandpa and I miss you.
