Sunday, May 31, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

May 31, 1964
Sunday, cool, mostly sunny.  Sue and I went to Church and Sunday School and over to Prattsville after Carol.  LaVerne and Roberta went to Paul and Norma's.

Comment:  Paul and Norma's is Paul Ellis and his wife, son of Madeline and Clarence Ellis, the oldest child in the Elmer Hubbard family and also the first to die in 1955 of heart disease at the age of 51.  Here is a picture in the early fifties of her, my mother and Winifred, the youngest child in the family of eight.  Not sure what the occasion was but the whole family was there. Paul was a New York State Trooper and also flew for them for a while.  Probably got his interest in airplanes from his brother Glendon who was in the Army Air Corp during WWII.  Glennie, as we called him died of a heart attack in 1973 at the age of 43.....

From Charlotte Haskin Carlton: Hi, I really enjoy reading your comments especially today with all the family history that I had forgotten or never knew. Do you think the heart problems came from the Hubbard or Haskin side of the family. They were so young. I think Marilyn was in her mid fifties when she suffered her heart attack. Sure didn't slow her down and still going strong good doctors.

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?"
