January 10, 1963
Thursday Beautiful sunny day 46. I washed curtains in living rooms and kitchen and windows. Doug and David cut a load of wood in a.m. Clifton went to Oneonta to cattle sale in P.M. home 12:30 Girls and I went to the prayer meeting at Evelyn Bailey’s. Gerald called about 10 and said he and Mary Ann wouldn’t be home for dinner. Mary Ann’s Uncle had died.
Comment: I think it was Uncle Ed who died. He was In his eighties and had lived with the Hallenbeck's for awhile after he could not live alone. He was bent over and shriveled up at the time but I think he had been quite the rake in his youth. He used to carry a "belly gun" that did not have a barrel but you could shool seven .22 shorts right out of the rotating cylinder. I still have it.
