Jen and I got up early and

started for Durham.  Went to

New Glasgow and did a little

shopping.  Reached Sylvester at

four.  Aunt Hattie was waiting

for us.  They were all very busy

but we had a good time.

Spent the day quietly and in

evening went to a party Aunt 

Anna gave for me.  Had an

awfully good time.  Wore my

black lace dress and a huge

bouquet of scarlet geraniums.

There was a nice crowd.  Hugh

Calder Isaac Macdonald James

Grant, Hugh Chisholm, Mr.

Kirken, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Grant,

J. Campbell, Wilma Bessie, Jen,

Jessie, May, Clara, and I.

Hugh Chisholm took me home.

Left PineTree at half past two

reached Springville at four.

Had supper at Bessies and

all went to Prayer meeting.

Jen and I went down to

PineTree.  Hugh drove us to the

Station.  Reached Uncle Johns

in time for diner.  Had a 

very pleasant little visit.

The day was uneventful.

Jen, Hugh and I got up late

and had breakfast by ourselves.

In the evening Clara Grant 

came in when she left for

home we all walked down

with her.

August 11, 1912

We all went to church.  It

was good to be back in Spring-

ville and see all the home people.

Nothing startling happened during
the day.


Springville Presbyterian Church, originally built in 1853 by Rev. Angus MacGillivray, Georgie's grandfather.It still stands today, just north of the site of the MacGillivray homeplace known as Cottage Hill, where Georgie grew up.

house and talked and in the 

evening Jen went as far as

Bridgeville with Hugh for a

drive.  They called at Mrs. Ross'
