Entries from Journal #1: June 1930
June 1 – Mr. & Mrs. Jno [John] Korting & myself were at the Marlow to see Winnie Lightner & Polly Moran play “She Couldn’t Say No”[1]. It was a good show.
June 6 – “Flag Day” – Frank Risoni’s playing at the Fox Liberty Thea[tre]. National Anthem march from Gt. Falls over the radio. Yesterday was a fierce windy day.
June 15 – I went 61 miles with Mr. & Mrs. Erik Hedblom up to Gould, Empire, Towsley & home by the Shannon mine. I finished painting the front of the house & fixed it up real nice.
June 19 – I was to Helena.
June 20 – Had the first rain since spring.
June 22 – Mr. Alb. Price came over at 2:30 a.m. with a severe nose bleed. Alb[ert] Schaffer & H. Ingman took him to Helena.
