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

Page 118

Wednesday August 6th 1930
I did a little work about the house and wrote
Mattie Fletcher. It was after two when Rob came to
take me to the doctor. I came home by Bus. After
supper rode with The Whetstones. Then we came down
to meet Birdie at 7.45. I stopped here at home. Letter from Winnie.
Thursday August 7th 1930
I wrote Mattie Stitt. When I got my mail there
was a letter from Mrs Pickens and Ida. I wrote her and
The Rhinds. Hattie came later and Ott took up to
Mollie Folsoms funeral. She looked so changed. I went
home with Rob at supper time. We came to picture show.
Friday August 8th 1930
I wrote Laura & Winnie. Did some work about the
house very hot. The Delavan paper gave such a
beautiful tribute to Lydia. Went to The Union to a
luncheon with The Shultz family on Dorothys
invitation. Spent afternoon with them. Went to
Whetstones with The Byingtons in the evening. Letter from Emma Herriott.
Saturday August 9th 1930
I did some washing. Cleaned up the house and
wrote LeGrand. Slept in PM. The Whetstones took me
home with them for supper. Home by taxi at ten oclock.
William & Mary to Lake Okaboji & Ott to Chicago tonight.
Sunday August 10th 1930
To church with The Anderson. Slept in PM and wrote
Mrs Clute & Mrs Falk. Weather much cooler. Rob came and
took me up there after I had my supper. Home by taxi
at ten oclock. Every body here out riding.
