Wednesday June 11th 1930
I did some washing. Ott here for dinner. We
talked about what I found in monuments at
Cedar Rapids yesterday. Mrs Gay took me out to Aunt
Emmas in PM. A pleasant visit. Walked home. Letter from Mrs Falk.
Thursday June 12th 1930
I did my ironing and some sewing. I had letter
from Laura who tells of Lydias serious condition and
how they manage with the care of her. Also a letter
from Winnie. She may come next week. Hattie here
in the afternoon. Mary & Buddy after supper. Read a book.
Friday June 13th 1930
Letters from Winnie & Laura. She tells that Stella
will be there to help care for Lydia. Rob took
me over to Folsoms for the afternoon. I came home
by Bus. Was reading in the evening.
Saturday June 14th 1930
Did some washing in AM. Left with The Byingtons
for Cedar Rapids after lunch. Stopped for Hattie.
Mr Kreb had been here in the AM and taken
me to the cemetery. We went to his place of
business and selected a couple of monuments,
one for me and one for The Byingtons Whetstone lot.
Later we went to Mr Morris place of business
and Ott got a radio that was put in the car.
It had rained some before But coming home was
a down pour. Hattie and I went on home with
The Byingtons. William brought us home at nine oclock.
