I took Zella to town this morning and saw Howard. There were two fires this a.m. and also Alonzo Dutton was drowned. He was out to Watson Montgomery's. Grandma H. gave Zella three little shirt waist pins with "Z" on them and Uncle John is going to give Zel her transportation down to Oklahoma City to visit. Zella went to a reception tonight given by Mr. Deardorff for the Seniors. Emma Hoover stayed all night with Bernice.
[This is the start of Volume VIII. I have a transcription done by cousin Kay, probably in the 1980's. Kay (Frances Kay Hauser Magis Allen) was the daughter of Bernice and was about a year older than my mom, both of them born to their mothers in their forties. Especially because my mom's siblings were so much older than she was [as was Kay's half-brother Ed Poole], they always had a close bond.
I don't know where the two volumes that cover the year from June 1911-May 1912 are, I hope that maybe they are in storage in Seattle. Even from the first few entries, it's clear that Winnie has matured and Zella has just graduated from high school. --kp]
