Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1907-December 31, 1909

Page 187

Saturday October 31st 1908
I worked in the kitchen most of the forenoon with the baking and churning.  Will went to town after an early dinner.  I cleaned out the closet in our room and gave the kitchen a good going over by washing wood-work and windows.  I had supper early and went with Frankie [Pointoin?] to the concert at the M.E.Church.   It was very nice.  It looked like rain but we got home safely.
Sunday November 1st 1908
It rained about church time so I did not go.  I was busy about the house all morning.  The weather kept me from going to Woolfs in the afternoon.  I cleaned out the desk.  Did the evening work and read some.
Monday November 2 1908
I did the washing with Wills help in the morning and got the dinner  over so I went to town at 1.12.  came back at 2.39 and did the ironing before five oclock.  I wrote to Lydia in the evening.
Tuesday November 3 1908
Will brought Mother out before dinner and I took her home late in the afternoon.  Mary Woolf & Jennie were here in the afternoon.  This is election day.  Will went down in the afternoon to vote.  I made tatting in the evening.
