We went after that I did some errands and called
on Clara Remley but did not find her. I stopped at
Fannies and at home. Did evening work. We put
the little chicks in new chicken house.
Tuesday June 23rd 1903
Will went to the pasture with Mrs Pinney as soon
as he ate his breakfast and later up to see
Earhert Danner about cutting hay. He went in
town as soon as he ate his dinner to settle with
the R. R. Co about the right away. He came
back at five oclock with the papers for me to sign made out
for $665.00 and the check for the money. We feel
it a good settlement. I was busy sewing in afternoon.
Wednesday June 24th 1903
I went down home while Will went to town to bank
his money. I sewed in the afternoon and wrote to Vene.
They began work on the R. R. in our field today.
Will and I put out tomato plants. Otts family and
Mother drove out after supper. I was working with
my chicks till bed-time. I am losing a lot of them.
