James Roger diary entry
1st April 1908 (Wednesday) 26
Fine day but cold North wind. David choring round. Piling wood &c. Dr. called today and recommended to stay in house for another day. Hamish telephoned this morning to ask After me and said he had had a fine night and felt first rate. I had letter from Cora who says her father’s foot is improving but Elizabeth had measles. James a cold. David and his mother lame backs.
The Fennia Market was run at one time by a Uuno Taavela who was a friend of Tom and Aina Parhiala. He also told us a story of his daughter playing at Central School when it was being built and her falling into the basement. Luckily she didn't get hurt.
