The story continues with the second journal. This is an entry from her personal diary, by Elizabeth Lancaster

I had planned to go with Arnold to Dallas for today is Mr. and Mrs. Carsey’s 50th Wedding Anniversary!! Mrs. C sent me an invitation – But we decided it would be financially unwise to take the car and it was best as it was.  I got a letter from Arnold from Dallas written yesterday saying the rain was falling and ’twas warm! Maybe he will come over this week-end! Ojala!

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