July 5, 1963, The Frances Hubbard Diaries


July 5, 1963
Friday, cloudy and showers in am,  windy,  50-66. I washed in am.  The girls and I went to Middleburgh in pm. I had cold in my head.  Went to business meeting at church at night.  Clifton home late.
Comment:  Mom was totally committed to the Flat Creek Baptist Church both in terms of attending every religious function but also was involved in every other aspect of the church from business meetings to pastor selection.  I guess at the time I did not appreciate how much time and effort she put into the church besides attending every Sunday service, every prayer meeting, every Missionary Meeting and any other function held.  Other functions included cutting wood for the parsonage, or any other maintenance required that the pastor could not do alone, ice cream socials, Bible school, Young People's Meetings, and rollerskating parties at the Cairo Roller Rink.  Not much went on in the church that did not have Mom's finger in it somewhere.....Here she is with Dac and her first child, LaVerne about 1935 or so..
