“Miss Ives” (b. ~1880) and Louise Goodsill (b. ~1900) lived their whole lives in #Roslindale. I'm Colleen, a History PhD student at @Northeastern, completing my fieldwork at the BCA and today I'm sharing some highlights from their oral histories! @universalhub @HUBhistory 
Louise Goodsill remembers how different local #Roslindale stores were compared to the supermarkets of today–homemade sausage for one example!
Louise’s father immigrated to Boston from Germany (with extended stops in Sweden, England, and Montreal), but nowhere he lived before Boston was cold enough for him to own any long underwear!
