Rhubarb

On Saturday, December 16, 1916 Bonnie wrote: Very Cold Wind. Prof. Hugo Munsterberg died. Arose at 7:30. Mary made fire. Very intensely cold today. Completed indexing and filing mail. Got cheque cashed for Mr. Raitt. Went to Johnson and Johnson's for Rhubarb and oil. Talked to Steffey. Mr. Divers worked on our cut-off. He broke both of them. Mary and I ate supper at Mrs. R. Went to American. Took Norman on Car. Professor Hugo Munsterberg was a well known psychologist who participated in some high profile court cases around the turn of the century. I am sure Grand-daddy knew him from all the reading that he did. I am thinking Johnson and Johnson's was a grocery store. It is mentioned again later and it appears that the Elmores are gathering needed items for Christmas. I see that Bonnie did "just call the man" someone who came over and looked at that stuck water cut-off, and the man apparently broke both of them. They must have been really tight. Again, Grand-daddy goes to the American theater but doesn't tells us what he saw this time, but Norman did get to ride the street car. Sounds like the Elmores had a pretty busy day and so did the Clingenpeels. My water seems to be working ok, but I do have a car that won't start. I know, I need to just "call the man".
