75 Years Ago Today
Eileen's Diary
May 15, 1939
This entry is a post from the diary of my mother, twenty year old Eileen KINNICK, 75 Years Ago this date. She kept a diary from 1932 as a freshman in high school until she left us, too early, in 1999.
Here is the daily entry for Monday, May 15:
Didn't get up very early. Did separator & fed chicks, took Pete over on 80 to plow & then went in to wash. At noon took picnic dinner & we ate in the car. Back in to town. Slept till 4:00, did most of the ironing, got Pete, came home & chores. Were going to the class play but were too tired. Ate supper, Pete read Capper's. Took baths & went to bed.
My comments:
Always interesting to see which days they are "tired" and which not…
Capper's Farmer… knew it as a kid. Learned more about it when we lived in Kansas. It was out of Topeka, Arthur Capper was a prominent business and political leader, including Governor from 1915 to 1919 and U.S. Senator from 1919 to 1949.
This is the April 1939 issue...
