    More stories from the farms, horses, and a prank...

    Hello.  My name is Paul Helmuth, and this podcast is a special series for me, because it’s a podcast where my grandfather tells the stories of his life, the way he remembers it. My grandpa was born in the 1920's and grew up in the Amish community just outside Arthur, IL.  He died on January 12, 2021. In this episode grandpa tells a story about a prank he and one of his best friends Joni Plank were a part of, how getting kicked by a colt leaves a mark, another story about one of the pony's named Perry, and his very first buggy. Grandpa also talks about working on the Fred Kauffman's farm and then working for George Marner at the sorghum mill. How did you buy an item that you needed?  Grandpa needed a new wedding suit… Thank you again for listening and if you enjoyed the podcast, don't forget to follow it  and join me the next time for more stories of Noah Helmuth. Have a great day. Music by IB Audio https://www.iba Composer - Ian Blumfield Company (distributor) - IB Audio Sound Effects by Envato Market User: collanderson

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

    Hello. My name is Paul Helmuth, and this podcast is a special series for me, because it’s a podcast where my grandfather tells the stories of his life, the way he remembers it. My grandpa was born in the 1920's and grew up in the Amish community just outside Arthur, IL. In this episode he'll talk about different jobs they did for other farms, about the school he attended and also when he was called to serve in the church. He starts 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 you'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.

    Growing Up on the Farm

    Hello. My name is Paul Helmuth, and this podcast is a special series for me, because it’s a podcast where my grandfather tells the stories of his life, the way he remembers it. Noah Helmuth grew up in central Illinois in the Amish community near Arthur. Born on April 12, 1924. My grandpa died on January 12, 2021, just 3 months shy of his 97th birthday. I've had the privilege of recording my grandfather on several occasions where either he or my grandma, who died a couple years ago, were able to tell the stories of their lives growing up and together. In this episode grandpa tells us where he was born and the size of his family. He'll talk about his homemade toys and of course punishments that they would receive when they misbehave. He also talks about the battle with bumble bees, two barns fires and two horses named Perry. One of the things that I learned about during this interview was that they used "rods" as a unit of measure for fields. So I asked my grandpa how long a rod was.  Since then, me being the nerd that I am, I had to look up what a rod measurement actually was. A rod is a unit of length, equal to 11 cubits or 16.5 feet. A perfect acre is a 40 x 4 rod area. In old English units, a furlong is a strip that runs 40 rods, which is 660 feet. And a mile is 8 furlongs or 5,280 feet. Now you know. Join me as we explore the stories of Noah B Helmuth. Thank you for joining me in listening to Noah tell us the stories, the way he remembers them. We'll continue with more in the next episode.
