"Grandma
and Grandpa are intending to move to Douglass as soon as they can get a
house. So far they haven't found
anything they liked very well and are still living on the place. It rained really hard the evening before
their sale and there wasn't a very large crowd.
However everything went very well but did not bring as much as papa
would have liked to have them bring. He really hated to have to give up his
sorrel horses. Uncle Everett bought the farm.
He intends to rent it out if he can....
"The
Seniors had their freak day last Tues.
On Monday, the rivers were up so badly they couldn't get to school but
the most of the freaks got there Tues.
They were all supposed to be Dog Patchers. Bill Kennedy was Little Abner and Lotus Noll
was Daisy Mae. All the girls carried cob
pipes and I guess they were a mess. Barbara
had on a dress made out of various colored rags and had freckles painted
on. She went bare-footed all day in the
school house. After school they had a
picnic in the park and in the evening a party.
They were really tired when it was all over."
