Saturday, August 2, 1919

Beautiful and bright but windy. Took Nellie to bus. To Uncle John's from 9:30 A.M. to 8:30 P.M. Fine dinner. Took walk down creek in A.M. and ride in P.M. to Charlton, Burnt Hills, etc. Called at Ed Closson's home.

**********
Ed Closson is probably Edward John Closson, the son of Eli Seaman Closson, brother of Charles and John Henry. Eli was born 1840, and Edward was born 1867. He died in 1931 at his farm in Ballston Center, NY, which is close to Charlton and Burnt Hills. He married Leila Grace Myers in 1903. So Eli would have been Uncle Eli to Stillman, and Edward would be Stillman's first cousin and Stanford's second cousin.

Here's a picture, taken from Find-a-Grave, of Ed's gravestone at Hillside Cemetery in Burnt Hills, NY:
