Wednesday November 6 1907
I was trying to sew a little fixing Will a couple of vests.  I took them down home in the afternoon and did it.  Father seems about the same he does not sit up at all.  I was busy about the work all evening.
Thursday November 7 1907
I did baking in the forenoon.  Will and I went down town in afternoon.  I was at the doctors office.  had a visit with Ott in his office.  I got new curtains for the sitting room and parlor.  Father about the same.
Friday November 8 1907
Will went in the county with Lucian Dennis to be away most of the day.  I wrote cards to some of the friends that Father is sick.  I went down home at 12.37  We got him up a little while.  I came at home at 4.20.
Saturday November 9 1907
I baked bread and had dinner so early that Will went down town at 11.37.  I had washed some windows before dinner and in afternoon  I cleaned up the shed, kitchen and the parlor, putting up new curtains in there.  I then washed some windows up stairs.  Father was not so well this evening.  Dr Dean was sent for.
