Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1929-December 31, 1930

Page 94

Thursday April 3rd 1930
I crotcheted some in AM. We walked over to
Monroe St to a church dinner. Then took a
street car for a long ride down State St. It
was 3.30 when we got home. A letter from
Hattie. Wrote to her. Rested all evening.
Friday April 4th 1930
I read and crotcheted in forenoon. I went
out to Austin in the afternoon to call on
Mable McDougall. A pleasant day. Evening here.
Saturday April 5th 1930
I helped Winnie with the ironing and crotcheted
some. She was down on Madison St to do errands.
We both took a good nap after dinner. Later I wrote
Ella Nagle and Laura Mason.
Sunday April 6th 1930
We left at 8 oclock for Flossmoer to hear Mr
Rhind preach. A nice trip. After the service went to
their home and they took us for a ride and left
us at the station. How I did enjoy seeing them and
to hear him preach again. Evening at home reading.
Monday April 7th 1930
We went down town before noon. Heard Ruth Hanna
McCormick make a speech. Then went to a show
"The Lummox." Very good. Letters from Sister Ida
and Mrs Pickens. Wrote Bro Ott.
