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.

Wednesday, October 6, 1926

No diary entry today. After being so faithful in updating her diary on a near daily basis for over a year and a half, for awhile here in October, Grandma wrote in it less frequently. Was there a reason? Will she reveal that reason in later diary entry? I guess we'll find out later.
