Did work up in town. In pm. brought out all the curtains and hung bedrooms & front room ones. Opal & the rest at Cooley's to picnic dinner. I came & got supper. Listened to Herbert Marshall & Merle Oberon in “Dark Angel.” Surely grand. Then I went to show “Rose Marie.” Marvelous. Watched band practice and came home.

Dad & Del called to Carroll at 4 am. Grandma died about 8:30. Dad came home about 10:30. She never regained consciousness. Decided we'd better move out here so we got Albert Deppman & Donald helped us. I went in to work for Bryan 's at 6:00. Made the beds when I got home & slept here. Have only 1 kerosene lamp & the lantern.

SEE: Map of town and farm location - Kinnick town house was right under the "oo" of Coon in Coon Rapids, of course. Grandma Kinnick had lived on 5th Avenue, just south of the railroad tracks, marked with a red G. (continued below the map)

The farm is the red rectangle, of course, 80 acres, on the Middle Raccoon River.
Going north from down town, on either 5th or 6th Avenue, was/is an uphill climb.
These two streets converge and become Stagecoach Road, turning northwest.
Velvet Ave/West St running to the north is commonly called the "Glidden Road."
The red M is the home of the Mountains, L is the home of Lunds.
The new Kinnick home, on the farm, was at the dot,
about a half mile west of the Lund corner.
