Wednesday October 24th 1906 I had cleaning to do, put up pears and got dinner. The boys built fence near the hog house. I was sewing some on a skirt for Mother. They had the doctors for Hattie. Thursday October 25th 1906 I was busy most of the forenoon with the work. Charlie Wadsworth who used to work for Uncle Jacob here awhile. I got dinner over so I went down home at 1.30.
