Della's Journal - Christmas Cards Sent

This is Installment 55 of the Journal of Della (Smith) Carringer (1862-1944), my great-grandmother, who resided at 2115 30th Street in San Diego in 1929.

The "players" and "setting" are described here. Pictures of some of the players are here. The last Journal entry is here.

Included in Della's 1929 Journal are lists of Christmas cards sent in 1928 and 1929. I have transcribed the list below:

----------------------------------------

Many people on this list were also on the cards received list, and many are not mentioned in the daily Journal. My guess is that many of them are neighbors or acquaintances in San Diego.

I would sure like to know where the Woodwards are - I've looked in the census records but have not found a Charles Woodward that fits the known facts (born ca 1862 in WI). This is the first indication of a George Woodward, so I'll look for him.
