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.

Mrs. W.C. Smith loaned us her machine and chauffeur who took Dick to Dr. Funkhouser’s office to have an x-ray, picture showed it set OK. Robert Johnson came to visit him.

(Aunt Marjorie wrote, "Robert Johnson lived in the big house across the streeet where Chester Smith and his brother's family later lived. Mrs. W.C. Smith was mother's Sunday school teacher from the time she was a teenager. She sent her car and chauffeur for us for Daddy's funeral, also.)
