(This is an entry from the journal entitled “Mexico Summer” written by Elizabeth Whipple Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago)

Alyce Claire persuaded me to go with her to Tatum – Joyce has a cute little house – painted furniture, home-made curtains with the loveliest color scheme throughout.  Betty Johnson made a very unnecessary remark to me in front of Gaylord Conner and Mrs. Martens and she hurt Alyce Claire by insulting Alton last night so we talked about her – ‘Snuf said, but I don’t believe she is happy in “our” undignified company!  Jack, Alton’s brother came to Tatum to see Alyce Claire – he had been to the Coast Guard Academy and was a most interesting talker.

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

The Tigers take the Cubs 2 to 1 in Game 4 of the World Series. This game played at Wrigley Field.
