Tuesday November 17th 1903
I left Burlington at 9:30 and reached West Liberty
at noon. Ida & Mary were at the depot. Spent a
very pleasant afternoon, got home at five oclock.
Levi met me at the depot. Will came for me at
supper time. We came home early. I unpacked my
things and visited all the evening. Very cold.
Wednesday November 18th 1903
I was busy most of the day sweeping and cleaning
the house. Will helped me change the furniture
to our bedroom up stairs. weather very cold.
Thursday November 19th 1903
Will went to the Stimmel sale. I baked bread
and did other necessary work. It was a cold
day. I read in the evening. Mary Woolf called.
Friday November 30th 1903
It was 19 years today since Charlie & Ida were
married. Mother & Alma were out for the day.
We had a nice visit. I did some mending.
Will did not go to town in the afternoon, as I could
not go with him. I read in evening went to bed
early. weather a little more moderate.
