Nov. 4 -6, 1915


 Thurs. Nov. 4, 1915

I assume they transferred Floyd to Hollywood High pictured here in 1916

Drove Floyd to school this A.M. Spent rest of day fixing yard and roosts for chickens. Had to catch them in the garage and cut their wings before I put them in the yard. In eve Floyd and I took a little ride around and up the hillside and saw the lights of the city below - pretty.

Fri. Nov. 5, 1915


Everything straightened up now. Mother feeling fair, but not able to exert herself any yet. Yesterday Floyd and I went downtown (L.A.) on the car and got some hook, hinges, etc. Today A.M. I knocked out some of the curb where the driveway is. Dressed up in afternoon and Ethel and I drove around and got groceries and Floyd. Rain in eve (first of the year). Read and to bed.

Author note: Here's some video of what downtown LA looked like a few years earlier in 1912. I can only imagine it got busier as more people poured in to California.



Sat. Nov. 6, 1915

phonograph record players from about 1915

Rain (light and fine) all day.

Mother not very well so stayed in bed all day. Floyd, Ethel, and I drove to market here (Hollywood) in A.M. and got some stuff. Played phonograph, etc.


Author Note: This is the last diary entry for 1915.
