Page 112

Thursday September 2nd 1926
I was sewing for myself all day. Edith ironing
went up town after supper. Dr Fachler called. Letter from Will Work.
Friday September 3rd 1926
Frank Woolf took the girls to Peoria. I was busy here.
A terrible rain last night and again late today. The 
folks did not leave Peoria till it was over.
Saturday September 4th 1926
I was busy most of the day fixing my grey dress.
The girls getting ready for company. Letter from Hattie. Wrote Fannie.
It rained nearly all day. All went to bed early.
Sunday September 5th 1926
It was still raining this morning. I did
up the dishes and the girls got things
ready for dinner. Their company came from
Peoria. They were relatives of their Mother. Very
pleasant people. Mr & Mrs [McCleson?] and daughter.
Some other callers some later. I wrote
Mattie Stitt. Edith was away for a ride.
The girls who is to stay with them came back.
Monday September 6th 1926
The girls both went to school. But Laura only
stayed till noon. I did some washing for
myself and was sewing some. I had a 26
page letter from Ott Seibert. It had been to
her Mother first. I wrote to both in afternoon
and did my ironing. After supper I went over
to sit with Lou Thomas awhile. Her Father is sick.
The weather is delightfully cool since last night.
