Saturday, July 25, 1914: Nothing doing.
Her middle-aged granddaughter’s comments 100 years later:
Grandma-
You must have done something. Do you and your 9-year-old brother Jimmie ever go fishing on hot summer days in the the nearby Warrior Run Creek ?
Cute picture…I’m not sure I’d want to be barefoot there, though….!
I hope Helena is having some fun–it is summer, after all.
Nice photo – subscription for this was $1.00 per year!
I expect they did go fishing in the creek.
I’m surprised she wouldn’t have written, “went fishing. no luck.” or “caught 2 perch, but Jimmie caught 3.”
I hope they spent time fishing or wading in the creek.
That’s such a cute photo. I bet his folks were filled with joy seeing their little boy in the newspaper.
Yes, grandma. Let us have more news …
