1946 (Thursday) – I went down to Sister Allred’s and we visited four homes, a sister Maud H. Bingham at 118 West 1st North. She was not feeling very well, her hands almost to the elbows, were red and swollen, looked almost like eczema and she constantly rubbed and scratched them which only aggravated them.
We must call again as we left a pedigree chart and family group sheet to be filled out.
Anna Barbara Cook at 110 West apartment 25. She was getting along in years, was from Illinois, had worked with the railroad company up to the last year or two, will fill out a record for us. Upstairs, in the same building, apartment 26, was a Mrs. Clara E. Orsel, very deaf, we had to write down all the questions we wanted to ask her. She seemed glad to talk to us, telling us about her boy in the army and about her daughter. Had photos of them and another son whom she hadn’t seen for fourteen years. She had a lovely picture of her daughter when she was about twelve or thirteen, taken in several poses. As we stood saying a few words at parting, on the walk in front of the house, Mrs. Orsel came running out to see us and she had found her bible in the midst of which were a few records.
We also visited Mr. and Mrs. Hinckley (Frank). He is a brother of the last Apostle Hinckley and uncle of our present Bishop. His health is poorly and he imagines he is about 88 years old. We left a chart and family group sheet for them to fill out.
