 75 Years Ago - Eileen's Diary - March 27, 1937


This entry is the daily post on this blog from the diary of eighteen year old Eileen KINNICK, 75 Years Ago this date.

Since midway through 2010, a weekly update/comments blog entry began to appear on the Dr. Bill Tells Ancestor Stories blog. Those weekly entries, on that blog, on each Tuesday of the week, will continue, with links to these daily entries.

Here is the short entry for Saturday, March 27:

Nice & sunny. Typed Smith estate. Studied shorthand. Jennie set my hair. Leo & Bussy came after me. Did dishes & ironed a little. Leo has a sore boil. To bed early.

Here is the long entry for Saturday, March 27:

Still quite cold but nice & sunny. That helps some. Letters from & to Madonna. Typed & worked Smith estate all am. Dad & I home to dinner. To date I've seen 7 meadow larks, 1 blue bird & 1 cardinal & 1 robin. [the bird numbers were underlined, later] Studied 1) (sic) most all afternoon. Had Jennie set my hair at 5:00. Dad went home. I ate at Lund's. Leo & Bussy came after me. Did dishes & ironed a little. Leo has an awful sore boil. To bed early.

My comments: Is that Jennie Herron that set her hair, or another Jennie?

Leo had a boil. Have  you had a boil? They hurt!

Boil: A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue. [Source: Wikipedia]
