Monday, April 10, 1922

Most wonderful, bright, hot day. Arose 7:15 A.M. Breakfast etc. Out on business. Uncle John & Aunt Gertie here to dinner. Cleaned up. Mother, M.M.B. and I took Hanford to Albany to 5 P.M. tram for Boston. Home. Out for walk in evening. Home. To bed 10:30 P.M.

Well, Hanford's on his way back to school and Marion (M.M.B.) must stay behind. In 1920, the Benedicts lived at 630 Hamilton Street in Schenectady. Marion's father, Joseph, was a machinist for GE, and her mother, Alice, stayed at home. Her brother Clifford was still in school. Though she was born in New York, Alice's father and mother were born in Germany; her maiden name is unknown. Below is a Google Street View of the address as it appears today. The Benedicts lived on one floor and a married couple lived on the other. The building was only 10 years old in 1920 and probably a nice home. It's no longer in a nice neighborhood.
