Page 83

Saturday February 8th 1930
I gave the rooms a good cleaning and done a lot
of other work. Hattie came at 2.30. We went to see "Sallie."
Ott here for dinner. In evening I wrote Mrs Falk, Ida,
Emma Herriott, Winnie, Lydia and Mrs Dinse. Fine day.
I talked with Ida Anderson. I go south with her Tuesday night.
Sunday February 9th 1930
Ott took me to church. I was busy part of the
afternoon. Did some telephoning. Mrs Searles
came with her boy later and put her things
away. Visited with her most of the evening.
Monday February 10th 1930
I went up town after selecting things to take
with me and putting others away. I paid bills,
got a few things needs and money to go away.
Mary & Mrs Mass came with Buddy and soon
after Cora came she went over to The Legion
building with me, set the table. Hattie, Ott,
William & Rob came and we all had supper
together. Mrs Searles & Herbert here when we
came home. I washed the napkins. Letter from Lois Simpson and wrote to her.
Tuesday February 11th 1930
A letter from Laura tells Lydia still very sick. I did
some telephoning. Tishie Hedges here. Did some packing,
wrote Laura. I finished packing in PM. Mary came at
four oclock to take me to depot to get ticket and check.
Home with Byingtons for supper. A special delivery to tell me
Joan Woolf is dead. Hattie & Cora took me to The station. Lizzies birthday.
