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.

Winter again – snow

Ned’s eyes are all red today and Marjorie’s too.

(Note what Grandma wrote about the weather... they had snow in March. It happens occasionally. We had snow and ice on this date in 2002, yet in 2007, we'll have temperatues in the mid 70's. Who can know what to plan for from year to year?)

(I've posted another picture, this one is of Grandma with her brothers, probably taken around 1895 or so. Click here to see it.)
