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

Page 87

Monday May 4th 1903
I washed and ironed some colored clothes today,
set hens and worked a little in the garden
besides the regular work. Will churned for me.
Tuesday May 5th 1903
I was busy around the house most of the morning
and just before dinner Father & Mother came.
They went home about four oclock and Mollie and
I went to town. Bob began painting the house at
noon and Jack Pointain came up to fix the
refrigerator. Did evening work and went to bed.
Wednesday May 6th 1903
It was a fine day. I was sewing when not busy
with the necessary work. The men are busy
with the farm work. I have Will McGinnis this week.
Thursday May 7th 1903
I did some sewing today when not busy with the
work. Mollie and I went to town after school. It
is Wills birthday. He was very tired tonight. he
had such a hard day taking care of little pigs. I wrote to Ida Cutler.
