Friday October 9 1908 I was at home at work the rest of the day after going down to see Frank Woolf & wife start home. I have been rather out of sorts for some days with my throat and lungs. Will got me medicine so I did not need to go to the doctor. I go things pretty well righted up Will gathered corn in afternoon. Ida Colter came last night to attend the reception tomorrow and was there to the card party today which I did not attend. Saturday October 10 1908 I did baking and other work. Will gathered corn and I had dinner at 11.30 Will went to town at 12.12 and I at 1.12 with things needed down home. I helped to receive about 200 ladies this afternoon. I came home at 7.30 It was a most beautiful day and such a nice party. Sunday October 11 1908 Will and I were both busy for a short forenoon as we had dinner before noon and went away together. I went down home to see Ida but she had staid in town for dinner I got some of my things and stopped at Woolfs on the back. Tishie and the children were there.
