Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1899-June 30, 1902

Page 218

Monday September 16th 1901
We were busy about the work most of the forenoon
got the paper cut for the ceiling in the south
room. I went to town with Will in the afternoon
I selected paper for the hall and our room.
We stopped at home a little while.
Tuesday September 17th 1901
It was a cold windy day. We papered the ceiling in
the south room and the cellar way I did more 
painting and we put up some tomatoes
Wednesday September 18th 1901
I went to town this morning and changed the paper
for the south room. I got peaches and we put 
them up. I got a little paper on the room. I
put away fruit in the evening. Will went to the 
valley for a load of corn.
Thursday September 19th 1901
It rained the entire day. Mollie did not have
school on account of President McKinleys funeral.
We papered the south room and the ceiling to
my room today. Will went over to the Dennis
Bros sale but it was postponed a week
on account of the weather.
