Hot
Anna and Betty Jane spent the day with me.
(I don't know who Anna and Betty Jane were, must have been some friends of Grandma's)

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.
Anna Mock & daughter Betty Jane were good friends of my parents. Unfortunately Anna died at an early age of a heart attack. (
ReplyDeletesitting on a couch, she just fell over & died, is what I have always been told). They also had a younger daughter.
