Wednesday, 21 February 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Partly cloudy, light snow, 18.  I washed.  Clifton and I went to Dick Mattice's funeral at Middleburgh.  the girls stayed at Bitle's.  Clifton and boys cut logs in am.  Ethridge got a load of hay in pm.  The girls and I went to a prayer meeting at Keepers.
Comment:  Dad must be bartering with Ethridge Goodfellow, we give him hay, he hauls the logs for us......Dad had his own trucking business in the early thirties.  Ethyl Haskin's diary has many entries of  Leonard and Almon Haskins working for him.  The business came to a sad end when one of his drivers ditched a truck with a load of cement and was killed.  I recount this in "Me, LaVerne & Franklin Brown:  take a listen:  http://hubbardfamilymusic.blogspot.com/2011/06/me-laverne-franklin-brown-talking-blues.html
