Mena's afternoon out. Annie went to

Brown's River with Mrs. Webster. Had four

callers. In the evening I kept house while

Annie and Jim went to Mrs. Frank

Reynolds for a game of cards. Mr. Massey

came in early and kept me company.

...and just what did she mend with? A Dorcas Thimble?

The monogram on the thimble  my mother gave to me is

 GGM.

It looks exactly like the one in the

picture, dated 1880. It also has the Pat.6 on it. I think we

can guess where it might have been

in 1913.....Georgie must have

either given to my mother, Henryetta, 

or family gave it to her after Georgie's

death in 1954.  Both were living in Charlotte, NC

at the time.

Mended in the morning. Went into town

with Jim in the afternoon. Had Mrs. and 

Mr. Giblin Miss Xxxxxx and Mr. Massey

for dinner in the evening.

Tasmanian Electoral Roll from 1913 - 1914......

Electoral Roll from Ancestry.com, showing Georgie MacGillivray living in Hobart. 

 Hers is the third name down from the top of the left hand page. Georgie was a British citizen, living in

Canada prior to coming to Tasmania.  Guess she was allowed to vote?  Never could

find James or Annie Fraser listed.

April 23, 1913

Our day home. Miss Wolfhagen called.

I missed Hockey practice she stayed so late.

Annie and Jim went to Parliament

so I missed my teachers class. Mrs Boyle

and Miss Hall called to get our names on 

the Electoral Roll.
