Page 175

Saturday September 30 1911  I got my work well along before By. Millie & Hattie came at 10.40  John came out with Will an hour later.  It rained so By & Millie staid all night.  A good visit   Sunday October 1st 1911   The folks did not go down till 2.15 and I went with them.  George & Will [Bremer?] were at Otts  I came home at 5.30 to avoid a hard rain.  Will & I talked all evening  A month today since Dear Old Mother went away.   Monday October 2 1911   I was busy with the work all forenoon.  Will & I went to town at 1.15.  I was all afternoon doing shopping.  I got me a new long black coat.  I was up in Otts office.   Tuesday October 3 1911   I went down at 2.15 to get my clock changed and was at Dr Smith office.  I then went over the river and found the old house all done as the folks had gone to the depot with Ott & Fannie  they went west.  I stayed till after supper and rode back to town with Rob at 7.30.  I missed Mother so much today.
