Very windy, blustery, cold day. Arose 9:30 A.M. To Church & Sunday School. Dinner. Read. Took nap. Up to call on Jessie Silvernail Robertson. To E.L. and Church. Ran sterioptican [sic] lantern for community singing. Sermon on 100% son. Up to Russell's house. To bed 11:30.
**********
Interesting that Stanford started to put Jessie Silvernail and then crossed it out and put Robertson. He's losing track of his girlfriends!
Community singing was something people did back then, much more so than now. I found several references in newspapers of the time. Below is a report of such an event. I wouldn't have put singing and steel treating together in my mind, but there you are! People made their own entertainment in Stanford's time.
