Emma to Joe, 20 April 1919
Maple Lane Hampton R.R. 1 Easter Sunday My Dear Joe, Every since your last letter arrived I've been going to write but the evenings are growing shorter and the days seem pretty busy right along. We are following the fashion of our neighbors this year and sticking to "sun-time" and last Sunday Mr Brown put it to a vote at church when service should be and they wouldn't have it changed i.e. it is at 11:30 new time. It was raining this morning but there were over 40 out - 3 from here and twice as many at S.S. Did it blow up there Good Friday? It did here. All day and from the North East at that. We've had a lot of rain and very little sunshine this spring - but the grass is getting green - onions and rhubarb are growing and seeding is commencing. "Ted" is home from school for the season. Charles comes for a day or two (when he can't see anything else to do.) and for evenings rather oftener - He and Beulah went to Hampton church tonight...
