Iowa Byington Reed diary, April 1, 1905-December 31, 1906

Page 87

Tuesday March 20th 1906
I had churning this morning and Rueben helped
me wash in afternoon. About four oclock I went up
to Clarks for a few moments. I got the clothes in
at dark and read in the evening. Will down to store.
Wednesday March 21st 1906
Will went to town in forenoon. I got ironing done
and sent some apples up to Mrs Clark prepared for
dinner. There was such a terrible wind in the
afternoon with storms of snow that I did not attempt
to go to the funeral. Will was there. I read my spare time.
Thursday March 22nd 1906
I got my work down in time to do down on the 9.30
car. I did some errands in town and went over home
for the day. Will came done in afternoon. We came
home together at 4 oclock. Hattie seems to be
improving right along. It was very cold today.
I had such a good letter from Lydia. I read in evening.
Friday March 23rd 1906
I had bread baking and churning this forenoon. Soon
after dinner Will took potatoes and other things down to
Mother. I went down as far as Woolfs to spend
the afternoon. We did evening work and I read
till bed-time. There was a cold wind from east.
