Oct 13-1919, Monday, Cincinnati. With Emma visited Aunt Forelick and Mrs Thomas, Then met Phil and Altura at the Bilton Home where we had lunch together. Later in the day looked of all of my youthful Cincin- nathomes. Where I was born at 408 West Fifth is now 714 W. Fifth. The entire region is now occupied by negroes. The place has gone back way much. No decent white man would live in this general region. The three story double brick (716-712) is just like it used to be, except that the front door is now a window. Back of the house is the same alley about 8 to 9 feet higher than the back yard. Then I went to my first home, what used to be 260- Richmond street between Center and Lein. It's now 70-3 It was in the corner of Richmond and Lein that I used to want to stand in the day evening during the concert of 18-? I then went to old what used to be 2 Hathaway street now up to corner 806. The lumber yard to the left is now an empty place but otherwise it is as it was when we lived in it. Depress all elsewhere now. Jane street is just bent and hits into Loomans Brewery, now a dead and empty place. Father's store room on Pearl street near Plum is now number 308, and in a drug shop. Opposite is the storage house of the Big Four Railway.
