Sunday, March 30, 1919

SET CLOCKS AHEAD. Cold. Windy. Wet. To Church and S.S. Took Centenary pledges. Dinner. Uncle Charlie hear [sic]. To County House to meeting. E.L had charge. 5 couples to Lillian Weber's home. To Epworth League and Church Service. To bed 9:15.

Ah, the good old days when Daylight Savings Time came at the end of March instead of at the beginning!

Lillian Weber was probably Miss Lillian Pearl Weber, a girl about Stanford's age who lived in Schenectady with her mother and a boarder at 936 Albany Street. Lillian was a dictaphone operator for GE. She later married and died in Florida in 1986.

Her mother, Lotta, shows as married in 1920, but a family tree shows him as dying in 1918, so I don't know what the real story is on that.

I wonder who Lillian was dating at the time? Stanford mentions 5 couples, so probably Lillian was half of one of those couples.

Here is a picture of Lillian when she was a bit older:
 I got this from a family tree on ancestry.com. I think she had a nice face.
