We, the Great Grandchildren of Mary Ella Somers, take pride in making her (and her sister Susie's) recently discovered diaries public. It is our hope you get as much enjoyment from reading her daily activities as we have. Linwood and Northfield must have been wonderful places back in the 1920s and 1930s, as wonderful as they are today. It is amazing to this writer that she had such an interesting number of friends and she travelled so often. Her farm activities kept her very busy planting, harvesting and selling flowers, vegetables and eggs in her stand "out front." And during this period she gained electricity and an indoor bathroom, a refrigerator, a new sewing machine, a new coal fired furnace and purchased a Radio. They were moving into the modern age. And they purchased several new "machines", automobiles to us today. I remember meeting Mary Ella and Lewis Somers once when I was very young, 2 or 3, just before they passed away. Although I must have been in their presence other times, I can only fondly remember this one time. - John Dilks, December 20, 2019. Surviving Great Grandchildren: |
