Saturday, November 14, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaires

November 14, 1964

Saturday, cloudy and windy, 40's.  Had our septic tank cleaned.  Robert Mae (?) from E. Cobleskill did it.  Men worked on it most of the day.  Gerald, David and Mary Ann went to Rochester.  Clifton and girls and I went to Middleburgh 4 pm to return snake to hardware store.  Heard that Ellis Kinks (?) wife had been in a bad accident few days previous and both legs nearly cut off.

Comment:  Not sure why we went to Rochester.....again, repair and maintenance chores....here is a picture of the stairs to the cellar which kind of shows the condition of the old house......note the yellow lead cord
