October 28, 1909 Thursday

October 28 Thursday — In the evening a dance was held at the “old Selleck house through the courtesy of Mr. Bergquist, the present occupant... at which the guests wore sheets, pillow cases & masks, quite a number were present, and all seemed to have a pleasant time” [MTLA minutes copied at the Library by Tenney Nov. 15, 1981]. Note: it is not known if Sam attended, though it is doubtful, as he was under a sort of “house arrest” by doctor’s orders.
