Page 119

Saturday June 23rd 1900  I hurried around with my work this morning and got up a nice dinner.  Louis Faltz with Mother and Nellie were down.  Nellie did not go home.  Will has the boys both hauling corn to Hill Siding to fill a car.  he was over there weighing and helping.  Sunday June 24th 1900  I felt miserably sick all day.  I wrote a couple of letters, read a little and got our meals.  Nellie helped me some with the work.  Weather warm.  Monday June 25th 1900  I felt some better. I churned and got the dinner  The boys are working very hard to finish filling the car of corn and get it done.  Nellie and I were calling up at Stevens, Andersons & Nelsons.  Tuesday June 26th 1900  I did churning and baking this morning.  Will went to Lone Tree to settle for the cow.  The cow brought $236.30.  He went to town in the afternoon and took Nellie up she was so home-sick.  I went as far as Nelsons to visit with Harts aunts who are here from Kansas.  His Aunt Sue is an old school-mate of mine.  Will helped me with the evening work.
