Sunday June 15th 1930
Ott took me to S S & church. Wrote Winnie & Laura
and rested awhile. After supper went to the
cemetery with The Byingtons taking the two Hatties
with us. Later I wrote Ida and took mail to the office.
Monday June 16th 1930
I went up town to meet Mary & Hattie to select
a wedding present for Rev Wylies daughter in
New Ork. Did other errands. Letters from Mattie
Fletcher with one to her from Ott Seibert. Slept
in PM. Evening spent with Laura [Mahana?] at her home.
Tuesday June 17th 1930
I went to Cedar Rapids with the Whetstones.
Saw Mr Kreb and made final arrangements for
the monuments. Then to lunch and picture show.
I stopped at Otts office to tell him what we did.
Did some telephoning. Wrote Grace Taylor, took the
letter to office. Stopped for a call at Mrs Furbish.

Wrote Mrs Wilson in Des Moines. Read some. Soon
after dinner went up to Hatties. Rob brought me home
after supper. Wrote Laura & read in in book.

I did washing & cleaning. Went up town late
in PM and got Fannies picture I had framed &
one of Will changed to another frame. They are
celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Presbyterian church
in Delavan today. The day they used to have a big picnic.
