Sunday, Jan 5, 1908

Harry came up after W.H. about noon and he stayed a little while.  Will came up too.  Had a sick horse so he stayed all night.  Grandma and I had a spat that will hold us for a while.  Talked with Will C. in evening.

************************************************************************

Transcriber's notes:

W.H. is very likely Winifred Humphrey.  We know she is in town and it appears that Grace commonly refers to her as W.H., and that she often stays over at Grace's house when she is visiting.

Since they were looking for Harry Hawkins yesterday, is he our Harry today?

This entry refers to both Will, and Will C.  One Will is staying over at Grace's house, while she talks with Will C., presumably on the phone as she usually does.  From tomorrow's diary entry we know that the Will that stayed over at her house tonight, usually lives in Ann Arbor.  Ann Arbor is where the University of Michigan is located.  Will Soper attends U of M and the Corunna Journal has reported that he is in town.  It was reported when he arrived, and 2 weeks later when he left.

Will Soper graduated from Corunna High School in 1905, and his friend Ray Derham, who is Grace's future brother-in-law, graduated from CHS a year later.

"Grandma" is Ann Eliza Crandall (1829-1912), 2nd wife of Edward Rose.  Edward Rose died in 1906.  Their son Elbert "Bert" Lee Rose is Grace's father.
