Note: During the years 1905-06, 1914-15 you'll notice that more things seemed to happen. The fact is
that I was able to find them recorded in dairies by Hattie Smith. The list of events would be much longer
if more such dairies had been available. If you know of any dairy among your treasures, I would appreciate the privilege of examining it for the purpose of making this history more complete.
