January 21, 1963: The Frances Hubbard Diaries

January 21, 1963
Monday, Partly Cloudy 0 to 10 above  and very windy.  I washed in the am and ironed in the pm.  Paul bought a cow and 2 calves.  Doug and David went to Oneonta and Doug signed up for the Navy.
Comment:  I think the Paul must be Paul Ellis who started working Uncle Earle's farm about a mile west of our farm.  This farm was owned by Elmer Hubbard then Earl Hubbard. Here is a picture of Elmer Hubbard feeding chickens with a view to the east and the dirt road leading to our place.  Also a picture of the house that was used by the family and also for "boarders" from "the city" who would come up and stay for a vacation.  Like many of the farm youths in that area, Doug joined the military to get off the farm as I and Marilyn also did.  I in the Army and Marilyn in the Marines.
