People at Joplin don’t get up early I reckon. Because at seven we were hunting the streets for a place to eat that wasn’t closed. Finally we found one of these places that never closes. After breakfast we started for Siloam Springs. We found much better roads than we anticipated. We got here in about the middle of the morning. We made ourselves at home and started in to help. After dinner June and I helped wash the dishes. Then June, Shirley and I went swimming at Dripping Springs about seven miles from here. We went in icy water but it was wonderful. We got home about five o’clock and then we started getting ready for supper. After supper June, Grover, Shirley and I went into town to the movies. We saw “The Duke Step Out”. After the show we went to the soda fountain. We got home at about a quarter to ten and now it’s ten!!
Jane’s Notes” Siloam Springs is on state highway 59, practically on the Oklahoma border. This diary entry doesn’t say and I have no idea what relatives lived in Siloam Springs. Emilie, any help here?
Yes, this is Grover Bosworth (b.1909 LeRoy,Minn.)and Sherley Bosworth Gaede (John Gaede)(b.1912 also in LeRoy). There was another boy Daniel who died as a child. They were children of Elizabeth Jane Powell b. 1880 in Frankfort,KS who married Edward Starr Bosworth in 1901 and who was born in 1871. - Sherley became an attorney in NYC nad Gerald and Mabel Powell(living in NJ) kept in touch with her a lot.So Elizabeth was Papa Powell's sister.
