Transcription of a 1915 - 1919 diary written by my husband's grandmother Ada May (Grimshaw) Illingworth who lived in Springfield, Vermont.

June 27, 1917
Wed. Fine
Finished ironing in A.M. Washed dining room curtains. E. did not work. Got bill from Clyde P. for $21 for May rent. Went to Ideal in P.M. with Mother & May. Band concert.
These people spend SO much time ironing and sewing.
ReplyDeleteI know.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who absolutely hates to sew and mend I would have been a sorry failure as a female back then.
