75 Years Ago - Eileen's Diary - September 20, 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 Monday, September 20:

Tired. Elmer home for dinner. To bed early at nite.

Here is the long entry for Monday, September 20:


Tired most of day. Wonder why!  Elmer out home for dinner. Helped Leo shock. Home early at nite. Rode the bike, ate late, took a bath & went to bed. Listened to Fibber & Molly. Tramp going down the road. Sheep got out.

My comments: My, my… more going on than would guess from first entry!  ;-)

Would Leo have been using twine to shocked corn?? Twine around the middle keeps it up! ;-)
