Hot
Went to Sunday school and Guy met us and took us to their house. The folks and Mildred’s folks) were out and we had a lovely fried chicken dinner. Sat on the porch till Mildred’s (folks) left and took Mama and Bob, Dick and Dale to Mama’s. Then we were going to follow when some old friends of Ella’s came. We enjoyed their visit and found out they have five just 2 squares from us and Dunums. Very pleasant people. Guy took us to the folks where we filled up on watermelon and learned Bess had called up and left some beans at the terminal station so Guy brought me and the babies home and Gilbert and Dick and Dale got the beans and went to a show.
(I'm not sure what she meant by "they have five just 2 squares from us and Dunums".
Sounds like a very nice day of visiting with family and taking it easy.)

No washing, ironing, sewing, canning? It must be Sunday! That phrase "they have five just 2 squares from us and Dunums" is very strange indeed. Can anyone interpret it?
ReplyDeleteI've been working on it, Carol with no luck. The closest name to 'Dunum' on the 1930 census is the very close-by 'Dunlea' family... could squares mean blocks?? Meaning [someone] has five kids and lives a couple of blocks away from us and Dunleas?

I'm not sure what she meant either. 2 square could be 2 blocks but I don't think Dunum refers to Miss Dunlea, who was just a casual next-door neighbor. Could be a different family. Aunt Bess left beans at the terminal station? They must have had some kind of system for drop offs & pick-ups
