Did house work and in the evening we went down to the G.A.R. Hall to a Baptist Social. The wind blew so hard that we could hardly go down, but I hung on to Johnnie. The entertainment was fine – “Ma Sweet and her seven daughters.” The coffee was fine, as was also the cake.

NOTES
Per Wikipedia: The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army who had served in the American Civil War. The GAR was among the first organized interest groups in American politics. The GAR was founded... in 1866. Its organization was based partly on the traditions of Freemasonry, and partly on military tradition.... There were posts in every state in the U.S., and several posts overseas.
