The story continues with the second journal.  This is an entry from her personal diary, by Elizabeth Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago. Click here to read more.

Went to the Methodist Church with Carsey and Roy Marcone. Poor sermon – rode around after dinner until time to go. Visited the office where Carsey works in the Inventory Dept.  Left for Roswell about  3:30. Stopped  at Caprock or somewhere for a sandwich and more coffee.  Got to R about 8. All four of us. Pete, Dixie Smith, Carsey and I saw “Camillle” fair only – good spots.  They left to go back about eleven! Surely hope they got home in time to go to bed in time to get up for work!  Carsey was wonderful to me the whole week-end paid me lots of complements – He used to be so silent and absentminded. He still is absent-minded to a degree but I never laughed anymore or had more fun on any week – and party before!  Hope he can come over real soon!

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

The Spanish Republican government called Germany’s recent naval actions “acts of aggression and war.” Germany sent a note offering to release the Aragon and cease attacks on Spanish shipping as soon as restitution was made for the cargo of the Palos not being fully returned. This proposal was rejected.

During the Second Battle of the Corunna Road, the Nationalists captured Villafranca del Castillo west of Madrid.

In China, 128 drug addicts were taken to a village near Tianjin and executed by firing squad.
