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.

Dale went down this AM and got his glasses. Grandpa Smith came to see Dick. Gilbert took Albert down to get a him a sweater and new shoes.

(Aunt Marjorie wrote that perhaps Dale was getting headaches because he needed glasses.

Grandpa Smith lived in Crawfordsville.)

Did Dale go by himself? It would be unthinkable if we let a child that age go by themselves to the doctor to get their glasses.
