From a family of 13 kids, no one had their "own" room or bed. The older kids were already out on their own by the time the younger got here. There was no heat in the bedrooms but there was plenty of quilts and we all headed for the kitchen on a cold morning. That old cast iron cook stove sure put out a lot of heat. Well remember the water in the bucket that sit by the stove would always be froze when we first got up in the morning. That was the bucket that had the dipper in it that we all drank out of. Think it was around 54 or 55 before we got running water in the house. Got an indoor bath room at the same time. Was a good feeling when we tore down the old outhouse, and covered up the "hole" 

Granted the winters were not near as severe as those us north but we did have our days
