Monday, 54th Day - 311 Days to Follow
Written by Margie Arbuthnot
More snow last nite, about 5 inches.
Cleared off by noon.
Dad and I went to Phillip Haas to get Una's, Marjorie and ? ? birth blank signed for their birth certificate.
To Don's this P.M. to cut up the veal.
Mr. Fredel came to Don's to look at Marjorie's colt. Offered to buy her for $60.
Listened to a speech from the President.
We went to Niwot today with Lottie B[runing] and G. Jain - all on business.

Birth Certificates
Margie and Fred's daughters, Marjorie (Arbuthnot) Campion and Una (Arbuthnot) Albert would have been adults yet, they didn't have birth certificates since they were born at home. Same for their brothers, Ken and Don. But this year, they were able to fill out the information and get it notarized so that they could get official birth certificates issued by the State of Colorado
Fred and Marjorie also didn't have birth certificates, What they were able to use were statements from the U.S. Department of Commerce's U.S. Census verifying when they were born.
It's too bad I can't read Grandma's hand writing to make out the third person who was also filling out the blank form for their birth certificate.
