Ancestors of Peggy Lynn Laramore

Julia states that her father would dig a hole in the ground and place a layer of hay all along the bottom and sides. He would then put either potatoes or apples in the hole. Then he would place a layer of hay on top and then cover with dirt. When this was done he would place fodder (corn stallks) all around. When they needed the potatoes or apples her mother (Rosa Melissa) would go and move the fodder aside, dig out what she needed, cover it back up and replace the fodder. This way they would stay fresh all winter.
