Our mother, Hazel Pfaltzgraff, (named after her mother) married a Stauffer. So the following posts will be Grandma Pfaltzgraff's journal entries. My brother, a bona fida Stauffer and last of this particular line, suggested that this be done. So here goes (Italics are mine):
Happy New Year 1916
January 1st - I was at home all day and in bed taking the milk diet. Laura Schuler is working for us. Baby (my mother) had a high fever. Fred (my grandfather) took care of her all day. I sewed tatting on baby's shirt.
2nd - Fred went to church. Had election of S.S. (Sunday School) officers. I stayed home with baby. She is much better again.
3rd - Fred worked at his car. L.S. (presumably Laura Schuler) washed and I hemmed a table cloth. Baby was very good. Fred cleaned the hen house.
4th - Fred worked at the car. L.S. ironed. I hemmed another table cloth. Baby sat on the bed watching me.
