Excerpts From Aunt Mae's Diary

I transcribed three new entries from Aunt Mae Youker's diary from 1914:

November 7th

Was in office all day until 5 o'clock. Not especially busy. Wrote note to Lucy. Laura Dygert and Purcell were both in. Laura stayed quite a little while and we had quite a visit. Went home, helped with supper, and took a bath, then went to choir rehearsal.Walked down from rehearsal with Helen Chapin. Walked up little ways with her and then came home and read until 11 o'clock.

November 29th

Slept until almost 2 o'clock. Stayed in house all rest of afternoon. Didn't get dressed until 5 o'clock. At about 5:30 Hazel stopped at house a minute and I walked up a little ways with her where she went home. On the way back, stopped in Greek's and bought dates and nuts and came home and made stuffed dates and also a cup of cocoa for myself. Hazel intended to come back in the evening to play but didn't come. Purcell came down about 8 o'clock and stayed until 10.

December 2nd

Went to moving pictures with Mamma. Saw the 5th installment of the Million Dollar Mystery. It still keeps interesting. After we got home Mamma made a cup of cocoa and then I went directly to bed.

Special train to Little Falls tonight for the Masonic Fair and at Main St. Station Mrs. Frank Santimer was struck by the train. She was injured but I guess not seriously. This is the first time anyone has ever been hurt by train at Main St. Station.
