Sat., August 10, 1935 - Alma came up this p.m. with the news that Hank Lautenbaughs have a baby boy and Mom should go there tomorrow morning. Howard and I went to Wayne tonite.
Sun., August 11, 1935 - Mom left on morning train. Howard came at 9:30 with roasting ears and Irene's typewriter. I typed school stuff this p.m. Howard here again rather late this evening.
Mon., August 12, 1935 - Baked bread and canned 6 qts. of pickled beets and 1 pint of tomatoes. Annie and Ola here tonite - brought us some apples, ripe cucumbers and a head of cabbage.
A few clicks and I see that the Lautenbaugh baby was named Dean and he lives or once lived in Bellevue. The Lautenbaugh family moved to Iowa at some point, but that's as far as I can get.
I did not think anyone ever canned just one pint of anything. Canning, in my memory, was always a big quantity endeavor. The things you learn . . . The photo is of Laplander learning there is a guinea behind her. Do know that nothing awful happened in the moments and minutes after I snapped the picture; everyone went peaceably on their way.
