Beautiful, bright, warm & Springlike. Arose 9 A.M. Breakfast etc. To Church & S.S. Dinner. Out on every member canvass with Mr. Hoose. Walked to Scotia. Home. To Epworth League. To United Presbyterian Church with Marian Benedict. Good pageant. "Facts & folks of mission field." Home. To bed 11 P.M.

I see that Stanford is taking care of Marion, who stayed behind in Schenectady while her beau, Hanford, attends college in Boston.

I don't know for sure if he is the one Stanford refers to, but I've located a William Hoose living in Schenectady who in 1922 was about 33 years old, was married and had a child. He worked as a clerk for the Locomotive Works.

Here is some information about the place where William Hoose worked, taken from Wikipedia:

The Schenectady Locomotive Works built railroad locomotives from its founding in 1848 through its merger into American Locomotive Company (Alco) in 1901.[1]
After the 1901 merger, Alco made the Schenectady plant its headquarters in Schenectady, New York.
One of the better-known locomotives to come out of the Schenectady shops was Central Pacific Railroad type 4-4-0 No. 60, the Jupiter (built in September 1868), one of two steam locomotives to take part in the "Golden Spike Ceremony" to celebrate the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad.
