Worked from 9:30 to 4:15 on typing Hildreth history. – William II family & move to Ohio.

Picked up partial plate at Dr. Vornholt at 4:45 & met Mary & Ken for supper at Isaly’s. Gave me card mother had written to Kathi – complaining that Mary wouldn’t let her have bananas. Mary gives her three a day – if she gives her more she hides them and they rot! Mary has been giving her Tylenol for a sleeping pill and it seems to help. Kenny put a new rod by her bed to help her get up at night.

Stopped at Woolworth’s & got diary ($2.99) and Crayola caligraphy set. Then up to see mother & home by 6:45. Crossword puzzle & T.V.

To Columbus – OAHSM Board at OHS 10 to 5:30. Planning regional meetings, new newsletter, new constitution.
Talked to Jack Lanum of East Liverpool on early Columbiana Co. He’s knowlegeable on routes pioneers used coming there.

At 3:30 went up to library. Found Muskingum Co. Cemetery inscriptions. Under Newton Twp was “Stokely Family Cemetery.” Listed were 5 graves – Phoebe Hurlbut widow of Benoni – David & Abigail Wooley. All with dates. Here is proof that Abigail was Benoni’s daughter that I needed for “First Families of Ohio”.

Back to Marion by 6:00 for meeting of Fund Raising Committee with Blair Schreyer of Ketchum Co. – Professional Fund Rainsers. To raise $250,000 would probably cost $20,000 – A atest of possibilities would cost about $1,500.

Kathi packing. Seems glad to be leaving & withdrawn from me. Played Othello with Kristi & used her Crayola calligraphy set.

Read Grandpa Sheneman’s letters. In to say goodby to mother and picked up Helen Romine to go to airport with us. All new construction finished except short term parking garage. Huge! Had a snack in cafeteria. Plane won’t be stopping in Dayton so good thing Don didn’t plan to put Kristi on there! Airport somewhat crowded even with expanded facilities.

Home by 8:00 – Seems empty after company.

Saturday, January 2, 1982
In to Mall to exchange Dave’s puzzle book – couldn’t because she had written in it “To my puzzling son”! But got him another one.

To shop by 5:30 to wait for Don & Rita to bring Kristi & take Dave back. They wouldn’t come in and it was traumatic for Kathi to see Dave leave.

Received a check from Don for $150 for Dave’s Jan support and a nasty letter from Rita saying they would pay double in Feb, Mch & April to catch up.

Howard & I put polyethylene on deck door. The base is rotted out & door is out of line letting cold air in. Dave & I picked up cement blocks from my land across road to use to anchor poly over greenhouse.

In to meet Birdie Mosher & Dorcas Shaffer at Hist Center. They will be hostesses for Open House Jan 9. To Gloria Marshall for ½ hr. Down to 162 ¾ from start of 163 ¾ & high of 164 ¾.
