We were threshing oats at the farm Aug 17 - 1916. We were nearly through by noon time. I believe Ida Wendland & Pauline Diebl were helping Pearl prepare & serve the dinner for about seventeen men. After dinner we were finishing threshing. I was stacking straw and was called down from the straw pile. I said "I climbed down our of the straw pile to entertain the stork." I presume it was about 2:30 pm. Happy day (Huh?) ... SCHOOLS Graduated Gates Business College, Senior Secretarial Course, Aug 1936.
