75 Years Ago - Eileen's Diary - August 29, 1937


 75 Years Ago - Eileen's Diary - August 29, 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.


[August 1, 1937, at Ledges]

Here is the short entry for Sunday, August 29:

Pete & Helen out home in pm. Over to Lund's. Rode around. Pete did chores. Helen & I made ice cream. She went to the show with us.

Here is the long entry for Sunday, August 29:

Did some washing & ironing. Pete & Helen out home. Went over to Lund's in pm. Rode in to town & back again. Pete home to do chores. Helen & I made ice cream. She was out home for supper. Went to the show with us. "Slim." Really good electrician show.

My comments: "Slim" was a 1937 movie starring Pat O'Brien and Henry Fonda. A farmer in Ohio becomes fascinated by a crew of linemen erecting transmission towers.
