Monday October 9 [1969?]  I went over to look at "The Ayers" property again in the forenoon and visited with the folks till the 4.07  I had a nice trip home arriving at midnight.   Tuesday October 10 1911   I came home on the 8.30 car.  I talked with Cora and Will the rest of the forenoon.  Rob out to dinner.  I wrote some and talked with Will and did mending in afternoon.   Wednesday October 11 1911  Will hauled two loads of corn from Baldwins.  I wrote Fannie in afternoon and went down to the store but did not get in.  I did some sewing in afternoon.   Thursday October 12 1911   It was a nice day.  Will helped Rob take his colts down and went on to town to get coops to sell chickens  I did some ironing & churned.  We caught chickens in the evening.  Friday October 13 1911   It was raining but Will took the 4 dozen chickens down  they brought $19.52.  I did ironing and mending.  Will to town in afternoon.
