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

Page 89

Monday May 11th 1903
Will began to plant corn today. I did a lot of
baking and work about the house in the afternoon
and sewed in the afternoon.
Tuesday May 12th 1903
It is seventeen years today since we were married.
Mollie helped me cut the waist to my dress before
school. I sewed on it some during the day. We
went down town after school. Mother is not well.
Wednesday May 13th 1903
I put in a very busy forenoon with the cooking
and looking after little chickens. I caught a ride
down home with Mrs Koser to spend the afternoon
with Mother. She is feeling some better. Hattie
is busy with the P. E. O. convention.
Thursday May 14th 1903
I had churning besides the regular work so did
not get to sew much. Mollie worked before school.
I sewed some in the afternoon. I looked after my
little chickens. Mollie spent the evening away from home.
