March 7, 1963, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

March 7, 1963
Thursday. Light snow flurries, windy 27 partly cloudy. I finished my striped dress and started the black one. Mrs. Mayo (the minister's wife) called and said prayer meeting was called off because of sickness.  Marlene had pneumonia. David’s income tax refund came to $92.00. He was home from work because of such a bad blustery day. Sue went to bed at 6 pm tired out. Merel still sick.
Comment: Based on the rate of inflation that $92.00 would be worth $789 today, not too shabby.  Weather too bad on Hunter Mountain for David to work.  Lots of folks sick, probably with flu.  Sounds like a pretty dreary day on the Hill....
