Sample Diary Page

These are some pages from Grandma's diary. The book is actually called a "Remembrancer" and I think generally her husband gave her one for Christmas. I feel we are so fortunate to have these to remember Grandma and learn about her life as a young mother in the 1920's!

Winifred

See April 16th post for more information on Winifred, one of Grandma's nieces. Doesn't she look spoiled? That's quite an outfit!

Bess

This is a picture of Bess Smith (Gilbert's sister) with a soldier. Is this the man she married, and then later the marriage was annulled? See post on March 8th for more about Bess.

Mac

Mac is a good friend. He is mentioned in posts on April 21st and March 27th.
