Trella Hemmerly – 1977-09-01

Thursday September 1st 1977
Worked on genealogy all day putting collected info on individual family sheets. Found notes David made from Wyandotte County records showing that David and Sarah Baker Hemmerly had two children who died in infancy. I had never heard of them. Made a total of 11. They were also named Blanche and Frances! But died before a year old.

David and I in at 10- had Al Cohen from Lion Ribbon in. Had our shareholders meeting very informally and he left for Columbus and I followed in my car. Met at State Library and did genealogy research. Just at 5 found 1840 census with Conrad Hemmerly listed for Columbiana Co. Didn’t have time to check on family or other names.

Got table set and most of dinner ready before David got here at 3. We walked in woods and found Sycamore across River that I heard crash last night. He seemed to enjoy being here without his family sort of unwinding.
Had ham, chicken, sweet potatoes, zucchini casserole, salad plate and Mary brought cake. It was for Mary Jordan’s birthday. Bernard more like himself. Mary brought old fireworks and we set them off on patio. Nice comfortable evening.

Saturday August 27th 1977
Big steam threshing at Mautz farm on 423 south of Marion. I took color prints and movies between weddings. Carroll* in his element. I got burned with clinker when they were stoking boiler. Got descriptions on tape. Reporters of Dispatch and Consumers News there.
David called saying he’d be up tomorrow.
