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

Page 153

Wednesday December 12th 1906
I was busy all forenoon, did some washing and got the
dinner. Will went down town to see the Dr about a
trouble he has in his face. I went down in afternoon
for things we needed and to see about getting a hat made.
I knit all the evening. Eight years today since Edith was placed in the vault.
Thursday December 13th 1906
I ironed and did a lot of baking in forenoon and went
down to Mrs Robinsons in afternoon. Eugene Lee, Jessie and
Mrs Carson were there. Had a pleasant visit. Did evening
work and knit some. Wills face does not improve much.
Friday December 14th 1906
I was busy all morning, had churning to do. I went to
town at 3.37 and up to the church with things for the
supper and helped some. Had a very pleasant evening.
The home folks were there. I came home at 7.20.
I knit on the mittens after I came home.
Saturday December 15th 1906
I did the morning work and went down home. Fred Stevens
gave a turkey dinner for his family. Will came down too.
We had such a nice visit, and it was a nice
winter day. Will went to see the Dr about his face. He
says it will be some time before he is through with the
treatment but it will come all right. I came home
at 4.20, did evening work, and knit some.
