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.

Marjorie not a bit well today. Not very cross a that but her eyes are awfully dull. She is cutting some belated teeth that are coming awfully hard.

(Aunt Marjorie wrote, "My teeth were all slow to come through, I was the only one in the family to have teeth straightened. Mother didn't understand why I had crooked teeth. But one time at the Jordan reunion, I looked around and knew exactly why I had crooked teeth."

Hmmm... I guess all the Jordans had crooked teeth!)
