Page 28

Sunday May 19th 1929
I wen to S S and church with the Andersons, and home with 
Hattie for the rest of the day. Rob brought me home. I had 
some things and brought from there I looked over. Had my supper 
and wrote to Harry Rowe. It has been cool today.
Monday May 20th 1929
I cleaned out my checks and some other things. Was 
up in the attic for some things. Changed the hem 
on a dress. Wrote Mattie Fletcher and went up town 
in PM. Went to see about my teeth. The Whetstones
met Birdie and they stopped to speak to me. I was 
up there with the Byingtons in the evening
Tuesday May 21th 1929
I got a box out of my trunk with things of Wills 
in. I spent the whole day looking over them and 
a box of old letters of Mothers that I got yesterday.
Saved a few things and as there was a fine in the 
furnace destroyed the rest. A letter from Winnie 
her brother is sick. Read in evening. Went to bed early. Hattie and Birdie here late in PM
Wednesday May 22th 1929
I was busy about house work all AM. I cleaned the rug 
in the bath room. Mrs Gay not very well. Slept in the 
PM. Then wrote Ella Nagle and Lizzie Lindley. After 
supper took them to mail box and got books at the 
library. I wrote Mrs. Dinse and Winnie in evening.
