May 10, 1947: Diary of a Johnstown Housewife

From the diary of Mrs. Elizabeth Oldham of Moxham

Saturday, May 10, 1947

Sort of cool all day. Billy and Eddie was working on the old tree all after noon. They was here for dinner. Then they got the thing all down, but the limbs off first, the dug and cut the roots off.

Eddie & Billy done about all the work. John & Joe and Hite come and helped some to pull the thing down. And George helped a lot with the burning the limbs.

Cliff Sale is getting the tree. Harry & Margaret went down to her home a gain.
