Beautiful Bright day. To college 9 to 2:30 P.M. Studied. To Country with Father. Planted flowers and vegetables. Home 9 P.M. To bed 11 P.M. Thankful for parents.
In the Closson Genealogy, The Josiah Closson Family of New England, the compiler William G. Closson has this to say about Stillman's relationship to the family farm in Glenville, NY:
[Stillman] continued the farm and General Store a while, selling the surplus butter and eggs taken from the farmers in trade in Schenectady. With the increase in business he moved to Schenectady about 1900 where he especialized [sic] in wholesale butter and egg business.I'm guessing that when Stanford refers to going to the country with his father, Stillman, he means the family farm. The flowers and vegetables must have been planted on that land, perhaps in a garden.
