Had a fire pit it sat in to get water boiling and then in with the clothes, stir them with a rod or big stick. I can remember Grand Ma Jones washing clothes in a pot just

LOL family of nine with only one girl. Feeding growing teen boys was quite the job. Always had three large deep freezer full. One for the beef or pork two full of veggies. To say the lease we worked all summer to keep food for the winters. Billy, we used a buried 55 gallon metal drum in a fire pit for hogs because the pots were not large enough.

We slso Used it to dip the hog in to scrap the hair when butchering it for food. Of course it would be used for washing clothes. It would be used to cook large amounts of food by boiling it. You might say it was essential to feed a large number of people living at the camp in this caae.
