Tuesday February 6th 1979
To Betty Swanson’s and paid her the $35 we collected for the 10th birthday cake. To courthouse to give John Cottrell receipts and discuss how many books to order. Worked on book all day except time to go to City Hall Municipal Court offices to see what they need to liven the place up- no windows. Clara worked from noon. Got mailing ready to former history purchasers and area newspapers and radio stations, but didn’t have it zipcoded so had to go pick it up.
First day I’ve heard birds singing. Titmice here and Cardinals in Marion. Also saw crows on way to work and Chris saw a robin. Also walked out of work at 6 and it was still daylight. Went up to see mother and took her tape of Historical Society meeting but she wasn’t interested.
Worked all evening on abstracting information on Boyd Funeral Home property from Alexander Berry, through Eber Baker, George Kling, John Lust, etc.
David called about his health records. Autopsy on Benjamin showed he had kidney formation that leads to cancer.
