Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1881-December 31, 1881

Page 100

Tuesday October 4th 1881

It was still rainy this forenoon. I stayed 

right at home and busied myself with 
my knitting. I have not felt very well 
today. We had an early supper and 
went to the Culbertson-Duncan wedding 
at the church. Will was one of the 
ushers. We came right home from the 
church and it was ten oclock before 
Will came as he had been down to 
Mr Duncans. The affair passed of pleasantly. 
Wednesday October 5th 1881.

I wrote a letter to Charlie and one home 

this morning and went down town to 
mail them. Went down to Beechers to start 
a tidy like Adahs. I came home at noon 
and about four oclock I went down to 
McKinstrys and stayed till nearly nine 
oclock when Will came after me. I 
found Vene had put the stove up in 
the room while I was gone. Will and I came 
to terms tonight over our row last Monday noon.
