Took about $100 to John Foster for Courthouse Centennial Sales. Mostly books and picked another box of books to sell. To shop to help interview people for Mary Waggles salesperson shop.

Home to find Mary and Ken had finished putting up mailbox and newspapers holder cover. Sure looks better. Dave back with me for kids prayer service at Trinity. Dick Bryson didn’t show up for board meeting. Norm Vogt valiantly turned down Russell Weston’s puzzle project.

Kathi called at 9:30 a.m. They got home last night. Received Western Wildflower seed from her in mail. Wrote thank you note for trip on my new Executive*. Dave dug holes for new mailbox house and for his canoe props. Read entries for awards program. So many good ones didn’t get award, especially Roush’s “Unknown Settlement” about Little Hocking where Benoni Hurlbut was killed by Indians. Must get acquainted with him. Picked first ripe tomatoes.

David and family headed for Northern Michigan in Mary and Ken’s van at 4:00 p.m.

Tto Columbus at 10:45 to sign Awards letters in Jim Strider’s office for OAHSM. 26 awards given for 85 entries. I wrote notes on a few and underlined time of ceremony on program being sent. To library about 2:00 and found Thomas Bickel in 1820 census. Just a few lines above Henry Sheneman. Right age to be Julia Ann’s father not her brother. So now I have another two first family ancestors. Hope I can find their graves. Lived on border of Mechanics and German Township in Tuscarawas County probably now Holmes county.*

[* Mechanics Twp is just south of Millersburg, Ohio so this does not place it in Tuscarawas County. German Twp is in Harrison County.]
