Thursday, March 4, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Comment: Sounds like a nice day....and news from Gilboa less than a hundred years prior to this entry from Dorothy Pickett's Gilboa Newsletter: Hard to imagine such tragedy...
"Back in Time: July 22, 1880 Mr. William Brink, living about two miles below Gilboa,
about three weeks ago had two children and seven grandchildren living in the same house with him, all of whom have died since that time, with the dreadful disease diphtheria. At two different times they carried two at a time in the same wagon."...Dorothy Pickett, Gilboa Newsletter 3.4.2013
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?"
