Friday July 6th 1906
I had baking to do and was all forenoon getting
dinner. The girls did up the work and washed
some and I took Lor and the children for a ride.
we were at home and over town. Did evening work
and visited in evening. 
Saturday July 7th 1906
The girls did their ironing and I had churning and
other work to do. Lor was busy getting ready to go
down to Woolfs. Edith took her down after dinner and
she went down town at 3.30. We had early supper.
Will had been down town. Then Laura and I went.
Did some shopping and went over to Otts. Edith
came home with us at [9.30?] Washed dishes, then went to bed.
Sunday July 8th 1906
The girls went to S. S. and church and I was busy
all forenoon getting a nice dinner. Otts family
came out from church and we spent a very
pleasant afternoon. They went home about four
oclock. I did my chores and got some supper.
We all sat on the porch till late bed-time
listening to the band play at Chester Park.
Woolfs did not bring Lor and the children
back tonight. George Foltz died early this morning.
