This is the mill where both Guy and Auntie worked. The weave room was in the top floor of the long mill part on the left, the burling room was in the right hand part on the ground floor. On with the story:
“Mar. 2, 1928 Fair Did work. Mrs Lampman and Mrs Hall was in.” ( Guy-worte: Worked on samples until 1 P.M. and on the Peanut Row Houses afther that. ) The samples that he speaks of are the ones used to show customers when trying to get new orders for the woolen cloth that was made in the mill. The houses on Peanut Row were mill houses so the mill was paying to bring electric lights to these homes. In the 30’s Guy and his family lived in one of these houses.
“March 3 Blustry did house work and went to Keene to see Angie and do shopping. Mrs. Hall and Mrs Chase went to Swanzy. Guy away tonight.” (Guy- Finished except for 1 hr work on Peanut Row. Went to Keene and Swanzy in the P.M. Took Mrs. Hall and Mrs Chase. Dora went as far as Keene to see Angie. Troy in the evening. Played cards with Helen)
“Sun 4 Fair Went to church. Fanny, Norman, Chas, Wm. and flora was over this P.M. Mrs Lampman and I opened the silver. Very pretty.” The silver is the communion set that belonged to the church. Dora rented this house from the church. In more prosperous times this was the parsonage for the church and church property that was no longer used was stored in the attic. Dora took care of these items until her death. (Guy-Troy and Keene with Helen.)

This was 1928…….Did Dad have a car or horse and buggy? If car, what kind?
Dad had a car. I think it was the old model T that he had in the early 30’s on Peanut Row. He used to go out and crank it to start it and then leave it running at the top of the lawn and come in for us. Then when we were in the car he would release the hand brake and drive down over the front lawn and onto the shore road and off we would go. If the car staled before we were ready to go he would release the brake and start the car as it rolled down the lawn. One day we went out to get into the car and when we got there the car was missing! Looking down to where the car was pointed we could see the tail end of the car in the lake and bubbles coming out of the front. Dad had to get someone over to help pull the car out of the lake. With the old Model T going into the water didn’t hurt it like it would on today’s cars, it just delayed our trip to Keene a little. All of the cars looked the same in those days. One day when Dad took us to Keene to shop he was pushing everyone to get going so he could get back home to finish a job he had started. We had parked in front of the Drug store on Main St there in Keene and as we were going back to the car, he went on ahead and opened the door on the passenger’s side for Mother. He held the door open and call “Come on, let’s get home!” Just then a man walked up behind Dad and said, “Not in my car you don’t!” Scared us all but he was right, Dad had opened the wrong car.
