Thursday June 13th 1929
The folks started back to Delavan at nine oclock.
I put the house in order and worked on the rug.
In the evening wrote Winnie & Birdie. Cool cloudy.
Friday June 14th 1929
I wrote Ida this morning and went to Allie Halson Seiberts
funeral. Rode back with The Andersons. Later Hattie
and Cora came and we went up to The Red Ball to
talk to Mrs Dunham about a dinner I am to give
Sunday. I worked on the rug the rest of the day.
LeGrand & Alberta home tonight.
Saturday June 15th 1929
I was home all day working on Hatties rug. I
put the house in order after supper and went to bed
early. Cora, Hattie, Fannie & Alberta in Cedar Rapids in PM.
Sunday June 16th 1929
I went to S S with The Anderson. After church we
all went up to The Red Ball. I rode with Otts folks.
The Anderson brought Orie Spencer. Cora had such
beautiful flowers and place cards on the tables. We
had a pleasant time. Ott & William went to Mason
City. I went home with The Byingtons for awhile.
Monday June 17th 1929
I was busy with different things and worked on Hatties
rug some. In the afternoon The Whetstones came and took
me over to Fannies for luncheon at one oclock. A very
pleasant party. The younger women played cards. The
girls brought me home at 5 oclock. Evening reading.
