Iowa Byington Reed diary, August 1, 1903-April 30, 1904

Page 60

Thursday March 3rd 1904
The weather was not so very bad today. I did
the regular work and sewed some. My feet
are some better. Mollie went to town to stay
all night and attend a play. I read all evening.
Friday March 4th 1904
I did churning and bread baking today. I did
mending in afternoon. Will went up to the
sale of the R.R. camp horses. Mollie went
home tonight. I cut out work after supper to
take down home tomorrow. Earnest Danver here awhile.
Saturday March 5th 1904
I got my work done early and Will and I
went to town for the day. I did some sewing
on Hatties machine. Lorie is about the
same and their good nurse has had to go
away, but Alma is back again. Mother has
a cold and is not very well. They have it
pretty hard there. It was three years today
since we laid Lee away and Oh what a cold
day it was. Will Brewer has cut wood up in 
Danvers timber for three days.
