Best Answer

They were required to help the family with the farm and animals. Children as young as 2 had the responsibility of collecting eggs and feeding the chickens. By the time a child was 7 or 8 years old they were expected to work with their father or mother. Boys would help take care of the cattle and crops and girls were to help in the house with making butter, candles, soap, cook and clean. The children were also expected to have time to learn to read or write and attend to bible lessons daily.
