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.

Dick has Albert to play with now and they had offices & play together writing newspapers. John Morgan sent Dick a while lot of little tablets, etc. and it sure keeps them busy.

(Later on in life, Dick, a philosophy professor at University of Louisville, and Albert, a theology professor at University of San Francisco, wrote one another letters that would probably have been quite interesting to read now. However, Mom said her grandmother threw them away when she came to live with them.)
