Tuesday, January 5, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaries
January 5, 1965
Tuesday, partly cloudy, 30's. Went to Middleburgh and to mother's for dinner. Papa and Billie there too. Had a package from Marilyn. I cut green dress out at night.
Comment: Sign up day for unemployment, dinner in Richmondville with all of Mom's parents and step-parents....here is a picture of Middleburgh in the fifties....and here is a very interesting and concise history of Middleburg with interesting tidbits: Vrooman's Nose was originally called Corn Mountain, for instance. And I guess I never realized the severity of the Indian raids in the valley in the 1780s......take a look....you may have to copy and paste the link into your address bar but I think it's worth it....

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?"
