Monday, January 1, 1923

Mild, wet day. Rain all morning. Arose 9 A.M. Breakfast. Chopped out gutter etc. Dinner. Odd jobs in P.M. Supper. To Gertrude Anthony's at nite. Pleasant evening. To bed 12:30 P.M. First New Years we did not go to Uncle Johns since I can remember. Mortal life ever changing and uncertain. Thankful for hope of immortality.

I am assuming that Stanford is chopping out the ice and clearing the leaves out of the house's gutters.

Gertrude Anthony was one of Stanford's girl friends. Information about her can be found at this Datebook 1922 post: December 24.

Stanford's Uncle John died June 30, 1922. He was one of his family's favorites. See the Josiah Closson Genealogy, page 190, for information about John Henry Closson's place in the family history. Here is an excerpt:

Stanford is finally writing his diary in a larger book, making it easier to read and giving him more room to write! Here's hoping he takes advantage of it by giving us a fuller account of his days.
