Aunt Vera's Diary - April 7th

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.

I loved reading this journal of Aunt Vera's and wished I had an AUnt Vera who would have left such a nice moment. So being on Family Search myself, I looked up her file, and discovered that her husband is my 8th cousin on my Father's side. What a treasure and so glad you posted it on the blog. My Fatherinlaw was born in Jay County. Virginia Britten Small world.
