Weather somewhat pleasant. Monday November 2nd 1874. I helped some about the washing before I went to school. Rode out with Ira as he went to the timber. After supper us young folks went to John Hesses and spent the evening. Tuesday November 3rd 1874. There was an election held at the school house today as I had no school. I sewed most of the day. And in the afternoon I went down town and had a tooth pulled. Wednesday November 4th 1874. Went to school again today. When I came home found Uncle Albert McCollister here.
