Sunday, October 5, 1919

Overcast mild day. Some rain at night. To Church & S.S. Rally day exercises. To Center Glenville Church to service. Wilbur Hayes & Mr. Ramsey along. To E.L. To Van Curler to hear Father Kelly with D.W.S.

**********
I think I've tracked down Doris W. Smith. She was a 15 year old girl in 1919, living with her parents in Schenectady. She was born in 1904 in Massachusetts. Her father, James, was born in England, her mother, Clara, in New York to English parents. In 1920 James was working as a janitor in the public schools. Doris had two older sisters; one, Ella, was a stenographer and the other, Amelia, was a mechanical engineer. Both worked for the Locomotive Works in Schenectady. Doris is still in school, of course, in 1920, being only 16.
