May 10, 1913

(Last part May 17.) *

Had a good game of Hockey. Enjoy playing

very much (all invited to party at Miss Fishers. Good time)

* ...another clue from her entries that she is going back, filling gaps, or 

transcribing from some other journal or papers.....

...this entry is actually 2 pages prior, at the bottom of a page, between

May 7 and May 11.  I debated whether it might not be

May 18 rather than May 10; however, there is a May 18

entry....

Temperance????

Temperance Hall according to the Hobart Mercury was a local entertainment venue.  It was erected in 1888 and would seat 800.  Here is a photograph (click here) from about 1890.  A Mrs. Fisher and a Mrs. Arnold, both local widows, contributed corner stones.  Were they related to Fishers and Arnolds  mentioned in this journal?  Who knows.

 This information was found in connection with the 1800s Temperance movement, of which I feel sure none of my relatives, past or present have been a member ......
