Friday November 30th 1928
I went over to Coswells to engage flowers
for Sunday. After dinner Mr Albers took me
over to Lizzie Duncans for the afternoon. Carl
brought me home. The girls busy getting ready
for Company tomorrow. They got their new light fixtures today.
Saturday December 1st 1928
I walked to town and back. Called on Birdie
Hatton and The Woolfs. I found The Parsons
from Lincoln here when I got back. A fine 
visit. Mrs Fochler & Francis called late in
the afternoon and Harry came about 8 oclock. Bro Otts birthday today.
Sunday December 2nd 1928
Harry took us to S S & church. I had such
beautiful flowers in Wills memory. The Clarkes
were here in the afternoon. After Harry and they
had gone I packed up my things to go tomorrow.
The evening visiting here. All tired & to bed early.
Monday December 3rd 1928
Mr Albers & Edith took me to the depot. An easy
trip. Went out to Winnies in taxi. Rested awhile.
After supper we walked up to Fred Givens to call.
Tuesday December 4th 1928
Not a pleasant day but we went down on Michigan
St to show. Letter from Hattie forwarded from Delavan
tells Mrs Dow died Friday night. I wrote
Hattie and Lydia. We went to bed early.
