Tuesday may 12 1908 I do not feel well my left [lung?] is hurting again. It has not troubled me for a long time. I was busy with the work most of the day. We did the chores early I fixed Billys supper and Will and I went down home at 6.12 to supper. Hattie had Otts folks and the Swisher family there. It was 22 years ago today that Will and I were married. We hurried back to town to come home at 9.30 it looked so stormy. Ott heard from John Woolfs will. he left everything to [Harry Albrect?]. Wednesday May 13 1908 I went downtown at 8.12 taking Kate [Pointoin?] with me to care for Little [Donnie?] Brown while his Mother was at the court house. I found them at the hotel. I went down on the street with mrs Brown we met Ott and later I went to the Court House awhile coming home at 10.30 I was at Dr Smith office It was a raining morning. Hattie & Fannie went to Cedar Rapids for two days at 7.39. Thursday May 14 1908 I did some baking and fixed things so the boys could get supper without me.
