17-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Sunday, January 5, 1913: Went to Sunday School this morning. Would like to go every Sunday of this year. Was over to see Carrie this afternoon. Went along with her to church this evening.
Her middle-aged granddaughter’s comments 100 years later:
Carrie Stout was a friend of Grandma’s who lived on a nearby farm. What did the two teens talk about? . . . do?
When I was young my friends and I enjoyed fixing each other’s hair. Maybe Grandma and Carrie also enjoyed fixing each other’s hair.
There’s a fun YouTube video that shows how to do an early 1900s updo.
