1880s South Dakota! Just a few weeks ago, I found out that one of my 4th great-grandfathers couldn’t settle down after the Civil War and went on years-long wanders away from his wife and kids who were in upstate NY. He spent most of the 1880s in Deadwood and ended up dying in 1889 at the Old Soldiers Home in Milwaukee, which was the nearest such home to Deadwood.
There were really some great finds. I love seeing the items after they are repaired and cleaned up, because it truly gives me an idea of what the family saw at that time. Those dishes, especially the blue striped one were unreal. Someone was really sad when they broke. Thank you. . .. . . ….
I have my grandma's diaries. Sometimes she mentions going to the doctor and getting "a bottle". Their house was built c. 1905, but the land had been the parade ground for the local militia in the early 1800s. My dad found some interesting buttons, a coin and a belt buckle with a metal detector. This was in sw Ontario, Canada. Wish we had thought of digging in the old back yard where they disposed of their garbage in the old days.
