Took Plants to Bazaar at Women’s CLub Home – 2 wedding appointments.
Took mother with me to Upper Sandusky where I called on Carl Zimmerman who died yesterday. Found his father Frank was a brother of Perry Zimmerman – Gayle & Faye’s father. Then went to Mrs. Deyson’s new apt north of Fairgrounds in the country. She is much feebler but walked out to car to see mother.

Lil took me to Ponderosa for my birthday dinner. Says Chris won’t do make-up after 5 as she is supposed to.

Got into box of letters mother had saved – from 1870 – Grandpa Sheneman to Lucy Hildreth – 1920 – Ray Hemmerly to Ivaloo Sheneman – fascinating.

Took Virgil & Terry Z. to 229 E. Fairground St. Moved Grandma Sheneman furniture to shop for display for Christmas.
Oak secretary-dresser & wash stand- 2 rockers – 3 stands. Girls cleaned up- silk arrangments on them look great.

Judy told Millie Sonnestine we wouldn’t setup the tables with the 40 arrangments – leaves candles-etc. (we always have) but I took Brenda & did it. It was a $440 order! Had to buy 20 candle holders at Woolworths at 80cents each. No one checked to see if we had enough.

To Altrusa dinner at Lan Jour – Ron Malone – mayor- spoke on Marion economics. I was impressed with his depth.
