Iowa Byington Reed diary, July 1, 1902-July 31, 1903

Page 58

Sunday January 18th 1903
I still have a very bad cold. I read and
wrote some and did the work. I see by the
paper that Lizzie Duncan has gone to Dayton [Daytona?]
Florida for the rest of the winter. Mollie back tonight.
Monday January 19th 1903
I have a very sore throat though not like I
had two months ago. I ripped up a dress that I
am going to make a waist of and sewed rags. I
do not feel like doing much. Read in evening.
Jennie Danner has a girl baby.
Tuesday January 20th 1903
Mother came out early and they sent for
her about four oclock. I did some baking
and got the dinner. Will churned for me. I
sewed on the rags what time I had to spare. Will to town in afternoon.
Wednesday January 21st 1903
I did the work and sewed a few rags. The
weather is not so nice as yesterday. I am
doing all I can for my cold. I have not
had so hard a one since the time we moved here.
