April 7, 1947: Diary of a Johnstown Housewife

From the diary of Mrs. Elizabeth Oldham of Moxham

Monday, April 7

I made a night gown for my self.

And done some ironing. The Clifford come over and took Leona & I down to the funeral Home to see Archie Blackburn. He looked so nice. Just as if he was sleeping. And we was in to see Mr. Oris. He died on yesterday.

Ida stayed home. Her back is bothering her a lot and she has a sore face. 

Elizabeth at the Continental Divide - 1940. Her and dad (her husband William) took Alice and Billy on a cross country trip to Washington to celebrate their graduation from high school.
