Decoration Day! Fannie, Dick, and Richard came very early to get flowers for the cemetery. I helped gather 3 nice large vases of my prettiest flowers for them and sent 2 large sprays for little Frankie's grave. After they left I picked up the hoe to chop some weeds and was very busy when Mrs. Main and her son Willie from Fort Worth drove up. We visited awhile. Then Dad and Frank come for their dinner (early). They were going to Gip to cut hay.
After noon Gladys Blarney came to get a Kodak to take pictures of her Mother's family with their families. Decoration Day brings many folks from other towns and states to decorate their loved ones graves. Scripture read Psalms 32:7, Psalms 91.
My nephew W. Guy Pafford was appointed by Governor Phillips as an important State Committeeman. Dad and Frank were late returning home. Mary was tired from her being alone to do the Store work. At 7 P.M. Mary and I went to Clinton. I saw a good movie by Errol Flynn and Brenda Marshall. Mary was with the Marvins. Their mother was better and could sit up in bed.
I was so very tired, hand been busy all day, mostly in the yard. My company was received in the yard. The weather was Ideal for Decoration Day. I couldn't go to the Cemetery but sent nice Bouquets for 8 graves to Gip by Betty Lou and her sisters, to Arapaho by Fannie. Thus ended May 30.
