Page 251

Saturday May 8th 1915
I did baking and other work in forenoon. Will & I went to
town together at 2:15. I went up to Mrs Emmons. She took the
last fitting on my woolen dress and I brought home the plaid
silk. It was very cold for the time of year. I read some in evening.
Sunday May 9th 1915
Hattie is 58 years old today. She has reached Everett, Pa.
all right. I went to church this morning. I met Ada McCallister
and went with her to Presbyterian church. A bright day. The
folks came out to supper. We had a very happy time.
Monday May 10th 1915
I did a little washing in forenoon. Went up to the cemetery
in afternoon and stopped at Mrs Emmons for my dress. I got
Fannie at 5:40 and was very tired. In evening gathered up things to pack.
Tuesday May 11th 1915
Did some ironing and went down town to Mildred Stevens
to visit with Fannie & Cora. I had a letter from Hattie and
wrote her a letter. Will came home with me at 4:30
and we put in the evening packing our things to go tomorrow.
Wednesday May 12th 1915
Got breakfast in good time and every thing ready to
go down at 8:15. The train was on time and we had nice
trip. Warner McCall met us and had pleasant evening with them.
Thursday May 13th 1915
We went to The Bismarck time club meeting in afternoon
and later found The Fullers who lived with us in Iowa
City. Walter Lee's folks came in the evening. Weather
cooler after rain last night.
