Thursday November 30th 1916
A beautiful thanksgiving day. We were all at Hatties. I
went down at 10:15. Will Bremmer came back this morning.
We spent a pleasant day together. Will & Emily went home
tonight. Rob brought me over for the 7:15. Will came before eight.
Friday December 1st 1916
Ott is 57 years old today. I was busy about the house
most of the forenoon. spent the afternoon down at Woolfs
A letter from Minnie Culbertson says they have sold their
home at North [Schined?] I am busy with fancy work for Christmas.
Saturday December 2nd 1916
It was a fine day. Will went down town a couple of
times. I was at home sewing all the spare time I had.
Sunday December 3rd 1916
It was another fine day. I went down to church and Will
was at Woolfs when I get back there for dinner. We
came home at 3:30. I wrote some and read all evening.
The Byingtons and Whetstones were on a long Auto trip.
Monday December 4th 1916
I did some washing in forenoon. I went down to
Coras to a little afternoon party at 2:15. Ron brought me to
town so I came home on the 7:30. Did some fancy work.
The clothes did not dry and I brought them in the house after I come home.
Tuesday December 5th 1916
I got Wills dinner ready before I went down to Fannies to
a meeting of the Presbyterian  committee. a very nice time.
I went to town about three oclock to get some things
and was at The Episcopal bazaar a few moments. I came home
at 4:30. I folded the clothes and did  fancy work. weather good again. a letter from Ida so sorry we cannot come now.
