James Roger diary entry
1st (Tuesday)
Fine warm day, wind west to south west. Unseasonably mild. David went to Greenville for grain, brought Hamish’s grip, laundry and grass seed Hartshorn’s (420) to pay. I picked a fowl, raked leaves of several lots &c in afternoon. David harrowed field at J.B. Davis and seeded it down. I picked rocks of field. Got letter from Jimmie Mair (Jessie?) last night.

Photo shoot with members of the New Ipswich Photography Club (now disbanded). Location was the barn on Witt Road in Jaffrey.
Nice photo of 4 talented girls. I worked with Camilie's mother at Tricnit, Emily, the funniest woman in my personal world at the time. She was a 'turner'. While she was on vacation I was Tricnit's turner for 2 wks. One sat next to what looked like a 'ferris-wheel" of chrome plated tubes. A tube would whiz by every second and if you held the sock in the right position it would scoop the sock and turn it right side out (make sure your head is not in its path). Emily could tell jokes while doing this. I brought socks to her and picked them up from her to move them down the line. If you didn't miss a tube you could earn extra $ above the min 1$/hr.
Louise was Hazel Cotzin's beautiful sister that married my friend Carl Silanpaa Jr. Life presented her with medical challenges that she handled well and died much too young. Alta Lawn was a friend of Camilie's and the best speller in her class. Laurine was Carl Toko's sister and one of the most attractive girls in town (you can include her sister Ilona and Linda Kivela in that category as well). I took senior life-saving with her and I occasionally remind Carl that I saved his sister from drowning several times.
Yeah, it was great fun to be part of New Ipswich in those years.
I forgot to mention that Camilie married Leonard Twiss, my neighbor and 'big brother' in Highbidge.
