Tuesday, December 6, 1988
Mary and I went to Upper Sandusky for Lydia Deyson’s funeral memorial but it is not until Thursday- paper had it wrong. To courthouse to see Loren Baker’s will- estate of about $550,000. Left $75,000 to Forest Methodist Church as Memorial to Mary Baker. $100,000 income from to Jesse. Attorney got $25,000 State of Ohio $12,000 and rest to his nieces and nephews.
Also researched Hemmerly land records- confusing! Still can’t figure out why Frances died and Daddy was born in Richland Township. Home and packed Christmas Box for Kathi and Bob and Mary brought hers out too and a pizza. Helped me put 150 lights on juniper tree near road. Dave called. He paid his $400 car insurance.

Call from person seeking picture of Harding’s boyhood home in Caledonia. Wants to purchase and restore. In at 10:00 to meet Willis and Wanda Nye at Huber Museum to hang pictures.
