Beautiful day but hot. Shovelled gravel all day. 6 teams, 34 loads. Quit at 4 o'clock. Helped father around place. Took bath etc. To Glenville corners to ice cream social. Roy and Ray Schlensker along. Wilson Clough spoke.
**********
Stanford certainly earned his ice cream this day!
Roy and Ray Schlensker were brothers who lived in Glenville, according to the 1915 NY census, with their parents and siblings. They were 13 and 10 in 1915, making them 17 and 14 in 1919. Their father, Henry, was a dairy farmer. Maybe he was one of the butter suppliers to Stillman?
Now that I've found the family, though, I see that Mildred, mentioned in July 13 post, is one of their children, as is Florence. Mr. and Mrs. Schlensker, mentioned in August 3 post, are Harry and Louise. He was born in Germany, immigrated in 1887 and was naturalized in 1895.
