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

Page 74

Wednesday March 10th 1903
It was very warm. Will and the boy put
straw in the barn. The boy went away in the
afternoon. We were already to start to town, every
thing in the buggy, when it began to thunder. It
rained so we could not go. Did a lot of work on my rug.
Thursday March 19th 1903
Still raining so we could not go to town. I put
in a full day at the rug. Mollie was not home
for supper. Will sold the hogs and the red bull
this afternoon. They go to town tomorrow in a car.
It rained very hard in the evening.
Friday March 20th 1903
The car came out a little after nine oclock
and Will went to town with the stock. I had
baking to do this morning. I finished the rug and
swept up the rooms down stairs. It was three
oclock before I had my work all done. I
did a little mending. Will got home at noon. The
hogs brought $475.10. The bull $50.250. Mollie went to town.
