Aunt Vera's Diary - January 14th

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 14th - Sunday

Clarence partly ready to go to church & kept snowing so decided to stay home.  They say roads are slick & lots of snow.

1969 - January 14th - Tuesday

Ironed.  Another gloomy day.

1970 - January 14th - Wednesday

Snowing again today.  Ernest Bash's housekeeper called, said Alma was bad, not much hope.

1971 - January 14th - Wednesday

Drizzling rain and freezing.  Real slick, no school in Recovery & in other.
