The
Candle Making in Frontier Missouri Women’s Tasks
The State Historical Society of Missouri notes how pioneer women provided light before electric or kerosene lamps. They used tallow from deer or bear fat, beeswax, and hemp wicks, evolving from simple tallow candles to wax-dipped ones, sometimes using alum to harden tallow for summer. Candles were made in large batches and stored in leather or tin boxes, with holders ranging from wooden blocks to improvised jugs, and the finest were pewter or china holders brought from the East.
