March 9, 1963
Sat. 30’s. Started to snow 4 pm. I baked in the am and took a pie and other things down to Merles. Ella went to hospital, no one was there when we went there. Cleaned up the house in the pm. Clifton,Wayne and Susan went to city to look at cars in pm. Carol was home sick, worse than Friday. Wayne went to Linda's at night and had to come home by Gilboa because of snow. Dougie called at 7 pm. Merle and Ella both in hospital at Margaretville. David's car boiled antifreeze out.
Comment: Lots of folks sick or getting sick, heavy snow. Merle and Ella must have been very sick for them to go to the hospital. Mom was known for her pies and Aunt Ella was known for her chocolate cake. Not sure how Mom did it so well on the wood stove that Mom used. Ella was little better off, I remember a gas stove in her kitchen but the skill was probably learned with a wood stove. They also seemed to do it so effortlessly. Mom would be working outside and the next moment whipping up an apple, current or sour cream pie. Anytime we went to Aunt Ella's she would offer us a piece of cake with a glass of milk. Ella and Mom were very good friends and talked to each other most every day. Not sure when this picture was taken of them both:
