Cloudy day. Rained hard from 8 A.M. to 2 P.M. Worked on road. Shovelled gravel in Henry Weise's pit from 7:30 to 10:30 A.M. Took nap. Read etc. To bed 9:15 P.M.
**********
Well, there is a Henry Weise living in Glenville in 1920, and he owns a farm on Charlton Road, so he is likely the owner of the pit that Stanford works in. He doesn't say that the Weise pit is on Charlton Road, but in earlier entries he mentions a pit on Charlton Road, different, it seems, from the one owned by Woodruff on Saratoga Road.
In 1920, Henry Weise lives between Charles Weise and William Weise, and all three men are in their early forties or late thirties with parents born in Germany. The 1880 census shows Henry and his brothers living with Henry and Bertha Weise (Wise) and four older siblings in Glenville. Both Henry and Bertha are from Germany, so these are obviously Henry Jr's parents. Henry Sr. owns a farm in 1880 which his children probably inherit later.
