Sunday September 13th 1896
It looked like clearing of and Lee took me to town in
tine for church. Edith came home with me to dinner.
Seth was out in the morning and the Chalfant family
in the afternoon. Edith and I went over home about
five oclock went down to Otts to call on Aunt Fanny
Hepburn a few moments and Mother ad I walked over
to call on Mr Whitaker and Aunt Em while Hattie got
supper. I staid at home all night.
Monday September 14th 1896
Will come in on a night train. It was raining in
the morning so we did not get started out home till
nine oclock. I cleaned up things some and got an
earl dinner and we went down to John McCallisters.
It rained on us most of the way home.
Tuesday September 15th 1896
I had churning to do and was busy with the work
all forenoon. We went to town after an early dinner.
I did some trading and called at Fanny Grahams.
We met Lee and he told us that Aunt Fanny had
gone home because of the killing of her nephew in
Arkansas. There was no particulars known. I did not
see any of the folks from over the river though
some of them were in town. I got a bushel of
peaches and pout them all up by ten oclock.
It is twelve years tonight since Rob died.
