June 28, 1931

Shirley Dalin (Grand child) and Fontella Rasmussen (niece) went on the water steps to play with sand and water. Finally Shirley wanted a bottle and she fell in the nettle patch. Fontella then helped her out and they came in screaming like hurt, so then I put on Ole-Oid linament. Both about 9 yrs.

I was so lucky to find this wonderful photo of Mary with her granddaughter Shirley and niece Fontella. According to the handwritten note on the back, the photo was taken just a few weeks after this journal entry was made – on August 12, 1931.
