• Richard's grandmother and Mary baking 10 loaves of bread in the outdoor oven
• The Indian attack on the Immigrant Jacob Hochstetler family on the frontier in 1757, setting their house on fire, tomahawking his wife, daughter and a son, and capturing Jacob and two sons (The father escaped the Indians about a year later; the sons, however, didn't return until about 6 years later.)
• And many more.
