November 7, 1932 - I've been sleepy and tired all day. Mike left this morning to help Paul S. pick corn. Listened to the radio awhile this evening and then went to bed early.
November 8, 1932 - Got a ride with Bud to school. We had an election this afternoon and Roosevelt won. Got a ride home with Earl Miller tonite. He said Miss Sewell visited him today. I can expect her any time within the next week. Listened to election returns until 9:00. It sounds as if Roosevelt is winning over Hoover.
November 9, 1932 - Snowed a little this morning. Roosevelt is our next president. Worked on Pilgrim posters this afternoon after recess. Marie and Charlotte N. came over tonite. We girls played Rook. Bob was married yesterday to Louise Appel. They came to Hoskins last nite.
I wonder if Grandma had to listen to the election returns very long. I took a peek online, and Roosevelt won easily over Hoover, 472 electoral votes v. 59 electoral votes. Roosevelt carried 42 states to Hoover's 6, there being only 48 states at the time.
Who is Bob that married Louise, if anyone knows?
