Sunday May 28th 1905 I was busy all forenoon. I did some writing. I went down town on the two oclock car to call at Plates. Mother & Hattie came there and we went to the cemetery. It looked like rain. I came home on the 4 oclock car. A hard rain all evening. The folks went right home too. Monday May 29th 1905 It was a sultry day. I picked some berries, did a little mending and got the dinner. The boys are mowing and cleaning up the yard. I went down on the two oclock car to Col Plates funeral came back at 5.30. Did evening work. Tuesday May 30th 1905 Weather cooler. I was at home all day. I cleaned some closets and cup-boards, put up curtains, and picked berries. A letter from Lydia says Flora Culbertson died early Monday evening. She had only been home a few days. Will went down town a little while in afternoon. Wednesday May 31st 1905 I was busy with the work all morning. picked berries, had dinner early. The boys plowed corn in afternoon. I went down town and then over home. made an apron for Joe Woolf. It was nearly six oclock when I got home. I did evening work and went to bed early. I feel very tired. So another month has passed away. Flora was buried today.
