Wednesday May 30th 1900  I got the work done early and went up home to spend the day.  Hattie was gone to the cemetery as it was decoration day.  Lee about as usual.  We spent the afternoon visiting at home.  I came home early.  Thursday May 31st 1900  I was busy with the work all forenoon and in the afternoon got the butter already to go to town tomorrow I set some more hens.  Weather warm.  Friday June 1st 1900  Will went to town this morning with the butter he was over home to dinner and stayed to help them put up the screens.  I got things ready to go up town tomorrow.  Ott & Fannie have been married 13 years today.  Saturday June 2nd 1900  We got started in pretty good time with the chickens for the church and the two turkeys I dressed yesterday.
