Aunt Vera's Diary - January 11th

In the summer of 2019, I was able to photograph the entries in the diary of my maternal great-aunt, Vera (Haley) Stuber.  The entries cover the years from 1968-1971 time frame and provide an interesting view of her daily activities. Items in brackets are my notes for further research.



Stuber, Vera Delphene (Haley). "Journal." MS. Fort Recovery, Ohio, 1968-1971. Privately held by Juanita (LeMaster) Steigerwalt, [ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE,] Muncie, Indiana, 2020.

1968 - January 11th - Thursday

We cleaned part of house this A.M.  Hittle came and picked more corn this P.M.  Sunshiney but wind is cold.

1969 - January 11th - Saturday

Baked pies and rolls.  Cold and still icy.

1970 - January 11th - Sunday

Snowed about all A.M.  Rev. Ballmer called and asked how we are and if he should come get us.  Alma had surgery Friday.  Talked to Ernest, said she is critical.

1971 - January 11th - Monday

Was real frosty and foggy to-day.  I washed and straightened up the house.  Clarence has a cold been so hoarse.
