Bierwirth Family Tree The Otto Bierwirth Family
Esther's Family RecipesUpdated July 17, 2005 Esther cooked up some grand meals in her time, but the Sunday dinners after church around the long mahogany table in the dining room of the big house at 18 Rensselaer St. in Hoosick Falls, (where the bay window faced the spruce trees and lilacs in the side yard), were eagerly attended by the hungry church crowd and family members...but in wintertime it was restricted to those who could spin their way up the hilly street during heavy snowstorms! |
