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 and Dale entertained at the Colonial – the World War all Newsboys. Then they went to Papa’s office where Dick was examined – has been having a cough for some time. Papa found he ran temperature of 100. Doesn’t complain any – sign of TB. It must not be!

Think of all they have in their future, refering to World War I as "the World War".
