Sunday, February 12, 1922

Bright day but cool and windy. Arose 9 A.M. Twalay. To Church & S.S. Dinner at Sirkers with family. Out walking with Ed. Gemlich. To E.L. Mr. Hahn led. Spent evening at 116 Victory Ave. To bed 1 A.M.

**********
Stanford is being coy, not saying who lived at 116 Victory Avenue, but some digging revealed it is Mildred Swart, who was living there with her parents in 1920. She was a music teacher (this 1921 post also tells her address). Her father, Henry, was a foreman at the Locomotive factory. By 1940 someone else, a mortician, was living at that address. Below is a Google Maps street view photo of the house as it looks today. It's a two-family house; Mildred and her family lived on one of the floors.
