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

Page 99

Saturday June 13th 1903
I hurried around this morning, cleaned up the
house and got a nice dinner. Mother and the
Holson girls were out. Had a nice visit. They
could not stay late. After they were gone I did
some mending. The boys finished plowing the
corn first time and began crossing it. Will
went to town after dinner. Millers put their cow in pasture.
Sunday June 14th 1903
I rested a great part of the forenoon. We had
to pick the strawberries in the afternoon. I read
and wrote and did the evening work. My little
chickens are so much care.
Monday June 15th 1903
I had Clarence to help me work and churn.
Bob Fachler began work on my new chicken house
today. I went down to Fannies in the afternoon.
Mother was there and Fannie thinks she will go
to Willies wedding. I went on to town for some
things, stopped at Woolfs a moment. Did evening work.
