March 26 - 28, 1969 Eisenhower Dies


Wednesday, March 26, 1969 Partly cloudy

I did the ironing, got a letter off to Esther and sent negatives. I got the papers all read. Didn’t do too much. Talked with Dorothea tonight. Aunt Ava called today. She got her car out first time since before Christmas.



Thursday, March 27, 1969

A nice day, on the mild side. I did regular work. Washed windows, cleaned oven. Defrosted the refrigerator. Made a batch of brownies, called Betty. Nothing new on her moving or about Kim. Had the front door open, sun shining in. A very pretty home. I hope we get the new room on. Fern and Lloyd called to watch TV.



Friday, March 28, 1969 $4.50 DWIGHT DAVID EISENHOWER DIED 12:25 PM

40° temperatures. A very nice day. I worked at Dorothy Prescott’s. Did my regular work before I went. Came home, did a washing. Hung everything outdoors. Snow settled some more. Can see tops of cars when they go by. At 12:25 PM today ex- Pres. Eisenhower died. Had been hospitalized in the hospital (Walter Reed) for nearly one year. It was April 29, 1968. He was one of the greatest men of the United States. A great Army man. He was Supreme Allied Commander of World War II in Europe.
