Aunt Vera's Diary - February 15th

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 - February 15th - Thursday

Clarence took Mrs. Franklin & I to Jetters to get things ready for R. Matchett.  Mrs. Franklin and I rolled bandages all day.

1969 - February 15th - Saturday

A very cold day.  Wind from the east.  Were to Recovery this A.M.  Baked pies & deviled eggs.

1970 - February 15th - Sunday

Had 4 or 5 in. of new snow, we had to make our own track to church on our road.  We didn't go at night.  Roads too slick.

1971 - February 15th - Monday

Washed & ironed, not quite so cold today.  No mail today celebrating Washingtons birthday.
