Aunt Vera's Diary - January 20th

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.

Warming up a little.  Clarence went to Portland this P.M.  Fortmans got rest of hay this A.M.

A fairly good day.  Washed and hung few clothes outside.  My stomach doesn't feel too good yet.

Ironed, mended & defrosted refrigerator.  Very cold, was 15 % below zero at Ft. Waynethis morn.
