Datebook 1919: Wednesday, April 23, 1919

Wednesday, April 23, 1919

Very beautiful and mild. Ruth left on 9:51 train. Played tennis at Central Park. Studied. Helped wash auto in P.M. Home in Evening. To bed 9 P.M.

I guess Ruth went back to college? He must have been tired--an early bed time!

About this blog . . .

I've created this blog to make a record of the hand-written journals of Stanford Stillman Closson (1900-1982), who was in his life a Methodist Minister, grandfather, father, brother, husband and son. I'm starting with the first one, written in 1919, but I plan to record subsequent years (they continue into the 1970s). I'm matching the days--May 5, 1919 to May 5, 2013, for instance--with one entry per day. So it will take a year to get through the first diary.

The daily entries are pretty short, though, so in addition to recording the diaries, I'm also annotating them, giving additional information about the people, places and events mentioned by Stanford. By doing this, I hope to convey a sense of 1919 Schenectady, New York and the people Stanford interacted with. Of course, I'm also hoping to give Stanford's descendants a fuller picture of who he was as a young man.
