August 11, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

August 11, 1964
Tuesday, hot and humid, 80.  Sue went to swimming lessons and stayed at Becky's overnight.  I baked cookies and did cleaning.  Louise went to Auburn, NY; her step granddaughter had been killed in an auto accident on Sunday or Monday.  I wrote to Marilyn.
Comment: Louise going through some tough times, granddaughter killed, Elmer dying...many years before this, her toddler son drowned in the swimming pool at Ferris Camp and her husband Claude Ferris, drained the pool and never filled it again.....here is a picture from Susan showing them in the early 60's in the house Grandpa built on Ferris Hill in Broom Center:

Elmer Gamalia Hubbard, Louise Ferris Hubbard, Early Sixties...

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?"
