Page 101

Saturday June 20th 1903
I was busy all morning. Picked some strawberries
and goose-berries. The boys finished the shed
before noon and Will picked up a lot of the
trash. I went down home with Will when he
went to town in the afternoon. Ott & Fannie had
been to the wedding and had a nice time. Mother
is about the same. They were putting up cherries.
There are a lot of R. R. hand getting ready to
camp down by Mr. Clarks to work on the Electric line.
Sunday June 21st 1903
Will went to the pasture and I was busy all
forenoon. We picked the last mess of strawberries
soon after dinner. It rained in afternoon. I read,
wrote, & worked with my little chicks. They are dying so.
Monday June 22nd 1903
I had helped with washing and churning. I baked
bread and cooked chicken for dinner. Will and
I started to town and were driven back by a shower.
