Page 63

Wednesday July 20 1910  I was busy with the work all forenoon.  I had dinner early and we drove over to see the camp ad onto the Park where The Elder Daughters had picnic.  I stayed with Mother & Hattie came later to the Presbyterian picnic.  I did evening work and went to bed I was very tired. Mrs Henry Morton died last night  Thursday July 21 1910  I did a big washing and had everything cleaned up by eleven oclock.  Will went to town for swill feed to slop the pigs.  I emptied a sock of sugar after dinner and did some mending  I did the evening work and folded the clothes to iron.  Friday July 22 1910  I ironed and did other work in the morning.  Will had Ed [Kever?] helping him do some work down at the tenant house.  We went to town in the afternoon.  I was sewing on a pair fine sheets for the south room bed.  Rob & Cora got home this evening.  Weather very hot again.  It had been a little cooler for a couple of days.
