Friday November 5th
To Epworth church for Eleanor’s funeral. Dan Kiger celebrated her life. To Marion cemetery for committal then back to church for lunch. Sat with Kathy’s [Hinklin] parents Bill and of Blue Ash. Then with them, Bob and Kathy to Eleanor’s house. So sad among all her beloved things. We finally said goodbye to Bob and Kathy- he and David are like brothers. We headed north in Harpster to hunt up Gene Logsdon whose books and articles we enjoy so much. He was mulching leaves with mower but received us so graciously. And invited us in so he could write down my address. Says he’ll come to visit! Home about 5:30 and David and Karen changed clothes and headed for Michael’s Steakhouse to meet with boys for supper. We’ll be back to spend night. Called Willis Thomas and he will meet the Hardings & me at Trinity at 11 so they can see the Harding pew.
