Hannibal, MO - Unsinkable Molly Brown

The birthplace of the Unsinkable Molly Brown is located right in Hannibal, too.  At 14 yrs. old she was working at the tobacco company in the factory for 50 cents a day.  How her world changed as she grew up.

Upper level was the dining room/living room and bedroom.  The two oldest kids slept in the dining room/living room.
Parents bedroom where the parents slept & the two youngest children.
The lower level housed the cow and chickens and the far end of the lower level was the kitchen.
I found this most interesting since I have been to her house in Denver.  Quit the contrast in dwellings. The house in Denver was bought after she & husband had struck it rich in gold.
