Wednesday, August 27, 1919

Overcast with rain in P.M. Worked on road. Shovelled gravel in Woodruff's pit. Played tennis read etc. To bed 10 P.M. Thankful for health, friends education and opportunities.

**********
I didn't find the gravel pit, but I think I found the Woodruffs, Ralph and Bertha, who lived on State Road in 1920 and owned a farm. Perhaps the farm included a gravel pit. State Road may have been the same as Saratoga Rd, as it is State Highway 50.  And the Woodruffs lived down the road from Uncle John and Aunt Gertie on State Road. By 1940, Ralph was a widower living on Saratoga Rd, but he still owned his farm.
