Some snow on ground. Wet under foot. Mild weather. Up 9 A.M. To Hayes' room. To church and S.S. Studied and took nap in P.M. To Epworth League. Walked home with D.W.S. >< Chewed rag with Finch. To bed 11:30 P.M.

The two marks (><) made in the journal I think mean kiss. Doris must have consented to give him a kiss. Interesting. The symbol almost looks like an X.
Doris was born December 15, 1903 in Fall River, Massachusetts. Her father, James, was a school janitor, originally from England. Her mother was Clara Crankshaw.
If this is the right Doris, then she married an electrical engineer by the name of Leland F. Stone in October of 1923 in Schenectady. In 1920, he was still living in Massachusetts with his parents, George and Mary. George was a bank treasurer at the time.
By 1930, Doris and Leland were living in Clarkstown, NY and had two children, David and Jean. Leland was working as an electrical engineer for General Electric. Their property was worth $10,000. Doris did well for herself!
Interestingly, in 1940 Doris is listed as being a farmer, working her own farm, while her husband is still an electrical engineer for GE. Doris also has another child by this time, Jerold.
I tried in vain to find a picture of Doris, but I haven't given up yet.
