Wednesday March 11th 1903
I was busy with baking and getting dinner
all the forenoon. I washed windows in the
afternoon and kept Nelson busy about the yard.
Will walked to town in the afternoon. Lew Price
came out and got the gray mares $300.00. Mollie
was away for supper. I began a white dressing sacque.
Thursday March 12th 1903
I had churning again and was  busy with the
work. Will went to town in the express after
dinner and I went down home to spend the time
he was in town. he drove the new horse he bought
from Mr Franklin on Monday. They look for
Fannie home tonight. her Mother is better. Gordon in town today.
Friday March 13th 1903
It was such a nice day. I sewed on my white
sacque besides doing the work. Mollie went to town
tonight. Gordon gone to meet friends from the
east and get another place. Will sold "Sam"
today for $125. A year today Dr Murphy died.
