Ruth Campbell Smith 1925-27 Diaries

My grandmother, Ruth Campbell Smith (1892 - 1972) kept a diary for many years. I am posting her entries from 1925 - 1927 in this blog. Her family included sons Dale (1916 - 2004), Dick (1918 - 1971), Albert (1920 - 1979), and Ned (1923 - 1976), and later daughters Marjorie (1925 - 2010) and Eleanor (1929 - 2011). Her husband was Gilbert (1889 - 1937) and they lived in Indianapolis. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of what it was like to be a housewife and mother in the 1920's.

Slightly warmer

My cold seemed a little better today and Marjorie’s too. Here’s hoping we continue to improve. Marjorie is getting cute. Beginning to coo and laugh when I talk to her and her face lights up as if she was going to speak.

(Not much to add to this middle of the week diary entry. Might be a good day to tell you about Grandma's cousin, Edna, but I'm still gathering some information, so it will be a few more days before I am ready to tell her story.)
