April 9, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

April 9, 1963
Tuesday, sunny in the 40s.  We went to Mothers for dinner. Clifton went to see Dr. Lyons and he sent him back to Cobleskill for a cardiogram. We got home 6 pm.
Comment:  Not sure what's going on the Dad's cardiogram. He is now 55.  His sister Madeline, died at 51 of a heart attack in 1955 and the doctor may have picked up on that.  Uncle Earle would die in 1968 at age 58.  Heart disease runs in the family.  Here is a picture of the Elmer Hubbard family probably in 1916 or so, just before the Spanish Flu Pandemic. Evelyn was born on Valentines Day in 1915 and looks about a year old.   From left to right, Clifton, Grandma Aggie with Evelyn on her lap, Merel, Madeline in back with Lorraine in front of her, Grandpa Elmer, then Earle.  Looks like the picture was taken in the Hubbard Hill house because of the items in the background.

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?"
