Page 41

Sunday September 17th 1905
It was late when we got up this morning. I wet to church
with the girls. Walked back past Woolfs. Took a bath and
rest after dinner. Late in afternoon Vene and I called at
John & Mrs Anthony Woolfs. Had lunch after we got home.
Martie and family were here all the evening.
Monday September 18th 1905
I sewed part of the forenoon and ironed my light dress
and some things in the wash and went over town to make
calls all afternoon. I got back about supper time. We went
to bed early as all were tired. I got my ticket this afternoon.
Letters from Will say Aunt Lib fell and hurt her hip.
Tuesday September 19th 1905
Got up in good time. Jim took me over to the depot before
he took Edith to school. The ride to St Louis was very pleasant.
My train was late, I only had time for change of cars. The
cars were crowded and my trip to Springfield tiresome
though very interesting. The route lay through The Ozark
Mountain country. I reached Springfield at 9:10.
Aunt Sarah and Charlie met me at the depot. We
went to Auntys home and visited till late bed-time.
