Most wonderful, bright, warm springlike day. Arose 8 A.M. Cut wood etc. Dinner. Worked outside in P.M. Greased ford etc. Supper. Shined shoes. To K.S.P. meeting at Church. Walked around with Ed Gemlich. Bowled at Morse. To bed 11:15 P.M.
**********
Ed Gemlich is one of Stanford's friends from the Epworth League but must also be a member of Knights of St. Paul (K.S.P.). Ed was first mentioned in a June 1919 entry: Gemlich. He must be about 18 years old now. By 1930 he is living in Scotia, working for GE as a draftsman, married to Ada, but both are living with his widowed mother (his father died in 1929). By 1940 he is divorced and still living with his mother. His tombstone, however, shows that when he died at age 56, he was married to Ina Mae Brown. She married a Mr. Plowright in 1980. Both Ed and Ina are buried in Park View Cemetery in Schenectady, as are Ed's parents. Ina attained the age of 94, having outlived two husbands.
