Folks are feeling better

Albert's name is mention for the first time in Mary's diary. Albert is yet another brother of Lloyd. Albert's wife Nellie is also mentioned.

Nellie also happens to be Lloyd's first cousin. That's right. Since Albert is Lloyd's brother, that means Albert married his first cousin. They had one son, Harold Eugene Benson (1911-1995).

Nellie's mother, Emma Belle Billett, and the Benson boy's mother, Leah Billett, were sisters, children of Michael and Susan (Moore) Billett.

But who is little Dickie? And who are agents?

"I wish I had a radio."

Imagine that. Wishing for a radio. I guess it beat looking at seed catalogs for entertainment.

Mother is sick, Paul is sick and Mrs. Radenbaugh had a bad fall. To top it all off, it's been cold and snowing.

"I wish I had a radio."
