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.

Sunday, January 2, 1927

We all went to Sunday School. After dinner the boys went to the show and then Dick and I went to C.E. and church. The old Christian Endeavor killed itself by dividing into three branches.

(Going to the show (movies) seems to have been a popular past time for the boys. Christian Endeavor was the youth program at the church.)

A movie two days in a row? I wonder if they saw the same movie, or a different one. I wonder how many movie theatres were close by?
