Friday, July 25, 1919

Beautiful bright mild day. To city with father. To Dr. T. S. Cooney dentist and down street. Out with father and chored around. Home 5 P.M. Played tennis, checkers etc. To bed 11 bells.

**********
Dr. T. S. Cooney was a pretty well-known dentist at the time Stanford went to him (or perhaps it was his father who did so). I found him listed in the Dental Society of the State of New York as an active member in 1918. His office was at 521 State Street in Schenectady. Another publication listed him as a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Dental School in 1907.  He was mentioned in the Penn Dental Journal as a member of the Edward C. Kirk Society (a dental student club, apparently) in fall of 1906.

According to the 1920 census, Dr. Thomas S. Cooney lived with his wife and daughter at 1438 State Street. He was 35 years old at the time. Now the area looks a little seedy, but back then it was probably a rather nice neighborhood.  In the below street view, Google identifies it with an "A." It's a realty office now.
