Fair mild autumn day. Damp under foot. Arose 5:45 A.M. Studied. Breakfast. To college 7:45 to 11 A.M. Dinner. Took nap. Pitched horseshoes. Down town on errands. Bowled at [drawing of star] 161-169. Mother & Father to Johnstown to Mrs. Grosvenor's funeral. To Phi Nu Theta meeting. To Church. Talked. To bed 11 P.M.
**********
Mrs. Grosvenor was Delana Cramer Grosvenor. She was born 4 November 1836 and died 27 October 1920. She was Catherine Cramer's younger sister. She married Nelson Grosvenor in 1859 and they had 8 children, all of whom outlived their parents. By the time she died, Delana was a widow living with her daughter, Lucy Grosvenor Pease, in Schenectady. She was buried in Johnstown with her husband, and later, one of her daughters.
She would have been Stanford's Great Aunt Delana, yet he doesn't call her Aunt Delana. Curious . . .
