Monday, January 7th, 1935


Marion Shovel

In 1935, Mary and Lloyd have two sons as well as D.J., their little girl. Mentioned for the first time in this diary is Paul Aden Benson, their 7 year-old. He was born August 3rd, 1927 in Galion, located in neighboring Crawford County.

Mary writes here on the 10th that Lloyd went to the Shovel. No doubt he was looking for work since he had been laid off just before Christmas. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Power_Shovel for more information on "The Shovel."

  1. Why must the doctor come so often? What's that doctor doing when he comes?
