Genevieve Smith: Oct. 4, 1929 Westboro, Wis.

Dear Friends,
Well it's the end of another week. How was your week? Mine was the same old same. Nothing to really say about my life, now in other places that's another story. These things with each day are now apart of history. Will they be remembered the way the happened or will they be twisted into something else?
Anyway, here is the next letter from Genevieve:

As always, for those that find it hard to read, here is what it says:

                  Westboro, Wis.

Well it looks like the last letter should have been after this one. As you can tell I have not read the letters before I organized them. sorry.
I wonder if her brother was able to get the car he wanted to get when he wanted to get it.
Lugerville is an unincorporated little town that is located on county road F about 8 miles northwest of Phillips.
I wonder how she ended up going there for a month.
I wonder what Grandpa listened to the most on the radio at that time.

Here is a picture form the scrap book:

 I wonder how long this story was in the news.
What did happen to this little boy?

Here are a few pages from the joke book, "Bedtime Laughs":

The one at the top of page 24 is the rest of a joke that I showed last time. Enjoy.


I got almost all the picture in one container now. So, right now I'm just picking one out randomly. This is what was chosen:

Not sure right now if I've already shown you one like this one before or not. No idea when it was taken or who is in it.

Well that's all I have to share with you today.
I hope you have a good weekend.
Don't forget to drop by again for more Fading History.
Till then.
Your friend,
Sandy
