Thursday, June 3, 1920

Overcast cook windy day but no rain. Arose 9 A.M. Fooled around. Played piano. Studied. Uncle John here to dinner. Maud Love here all day. Bought new Maxwell car. Psychology Exam in P.M. Down street after frat pictures. Played tennis with Finch. Phi Nu Theta meeting. Candled eggs. To bed 11 P.X.

**********
I think I found Maud Love. In 1920 there was a Maud Love living with her husband, Adnah James Love, and children in Duanesburg. At that time she had a child of about 1.5 years old, Stanley Love, who would certainly count as the "baby" described by Stanford in his entry of March 25. It's interesting that Maud never comes with her husband, just sometimes Uncle Charlie. But I now know who Maud is--she is the daughter of Uncle Charles Cramer, who is the brother of Catherine Cramer, making Maud Stillman's cousin, and Uncle Charlie Stanford's Great Uncle Charlie. Charles was born in 1846, the youngest of the 9 children of Frederick Cramer and Susan Cornell. He died in 1925, so he lived five years after Stanford thought he was in "bad shape." Maude was born in 1879. She had an older sister, Edith, born in 1876.

Here are two pictures I acquired from someone's family tree; the third is from the Closson family tree:
