Page 109

Wednesday June 13th 1906
I got the wash done and Will and I went down to 10.30
I stopped to Commencement awhile. I then went over the
river. Cousin By Byington came last night. They, John &
Mrs Helmich, Mr Charmers, Ella Rhodes and ourselves
were the extra ones for dinner. We had a very delightful
day talking over old times. We came home at 5 oclock.
We heard from Laura Mason today. I wrote her.
Thursday June 14th 1906
The weather looked gloomy today but Hattie and
the Halson girls came up. We had a nice visit.
I picked over strawberries on afternoon and put
them up at supper time. The girls went home at 5 oclock.
I have not felt so very well today.
Friday June 15th 1906
I was sick all last night. Will went in and got me
medicine. I kept up with the work all day.
Saturday June 16th 1906
I felt better and got dinner for Cousin By who came
out with Will. I walked down to the depot at 3.30 with
him and Will went down home for The Mason girls
who had come in from the east at 2.40. They
got here in time for early supper and we spent the
evening visiting. weather warm and dust very bad.
