April 10, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

April 10, 1963
Wednesday, snow flurries. Partly cloudy,  windy 22-26 in am, ground white with snow.  I wrote to Doug and Marilyn. Clifton went to Stamford after motor and pump at Kelly Brothers.  Clifton, the girls and I went to fellow-ship supper at church held for Mrs. Edwards.  Ina Belle had operation on her thyroid gland.
Comment:  Ina Bell Hubbard born August 29, 1916, died May 5, 1986 at age 69 years.  Was single for most of her life and had no children.  I remember her apartment in Schenectady.  She worked for General Electric in some sort of administrative job and retired from there with a nice pension.  Marilyn use to go and stay with her sometimes.  She had a rather tart personality and I think was very close to Evelyn and Evelyn's children.  Our family did not see a lot of her.  Dad is probably getting an electric motor for the well or spring pump or the barn milking machine vacuum system. Here is a picture of Ina Bell with Marilyn and Grandpa Elmer Hubbard during a visit to Tijuana, Mexico probably sometime in the late fifties.......

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
