 September 1935


Mon Sept 2  Labor Day. I went to South side on an errand and two kittens and the puppy started to follow me home. I went back and asked Irving to call them off. He took a swatter and followed me to the road and drove them back. Louisa came over soon after, and with wonder in her eyes said "Why did Daddy chase you home?" We went to see Shirley Temple in Curly Top. Louisa wanted her mother to ask Shirley to come and play with her. 

Tues 3   Herbert entered Stafford School today. He went to the school east of us last year and paid tuition. Teacher Miss Jean Aldrich, later Mrs Wendall Call.

Tues 24  Caucus. Howard Bell  nominated for Supervisor 195, Mr Blood 145. A.D. Call less than 60. Charles had a brush with Sanders, A.D. said the town committee had been picked beforehand. Charles retorted all the trouble was Sanders didn't pick them. People cheered. ---- Then Charles and I went to see Dr. Davis about some spots on Charles' cheek. Davis was out so we went to Pierce. After waiting about an hour the doctor spoke as tho there was nothing to worry about, but they would better be removed by an electric needle soon as convenient (I remember nothing about this. Think they must have disappeared. 1942)

Sept 26 The new organ at Stafford Episcopal Church was dedicated with a concert and ceremonies

My Grandmother's Recipes - Sandwiches

   I recently received a set of recipe cards from a cousin that were written by out grandmother Evelyn Clara (Call) Hankins, probably between 1920 (when she married) and 1962 (when she died). My grandmother was born in Wichita, Sedgewick, Kansas in 1895. Within a few months of her birth, the family moved back to Stafford, Genesee County, New York where her parents, Charles Joslin Call (1859-1939) and Elizabeth Ann Coe (1862-1956) were born. Evelyn lived in Stafford on the family farm until she left for college, first at Northwestern University in Chicago and then at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. She graduated from Cornell in 1919 with a degree in Home Economics. After graduating, she worked for a year at Wells College in Aurora, Cayuga, New York, possibly as the Superintendent of a Dormitory, as a housekeeper or as a teacher. She married my grandfather, Francis William Hankins (1897-1963) in 1920 at her parents home in Stafford. Beginning in the 1930s, my grandmother ran the

Adding a Citation to a Document using Photoshop Elements 2023

This is the first is an occasional series of blog posts on using Photoshop Elements 2023 for genealogists. Many of my genealogist friends know I'm also a photographer, so have asked me how I do some things with genealogy-related images. The problem is - I use Photoshop and Lightroom - which are probably overkill for most genealogists, and are a subscription-based package. I used to recommend Irfanview (and still do for some things) but I was finding it hard to do some of what I do in Photoshop in Irfanview.  So enter Photoshop Elements 2023 - it has more features than Irfanview but isn't as user-hostile as Photoshop can be. And it's available for purchase as a stand-alone package - no monthly subscription fees! If you want to buy a copy of Photoshop Elements 2023 - I suggest purchasing it through Amazon using the affiliate link for Cyndi's List. I use Photoshop Elements on a Windows computer so my instructions are for the Windows version. Mac version may be slightly dif
