Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1929-December 31, 1930

Page 35

Sunday June 23rd 1929
We rested in AM. I was on the couch all day. Soon
after dinner George Stevens came and took the girls
to the valley and to make other calls. I slept some
Tishie Hedges here. Later The Byingtons came and some of
them took the girls to ride. Ott, LeGrand & Buddy stayed
with me. What a sorrow since a week ago today.
Monday June 24th 1929
The Whetstones came to take Winnie to the station.
Laura fixed me some dinner and Hattie took the rest
out to dinner. The Hedges girls Jennie, Helen and little 
boy were here and my furniture came. After that
Jeff Mc--- came for us. I ate the first real meal since
Thursday. Laura stayed there to start home early tomorrow.
Tuesday June 25th 1929
I was busy all forenoon putting things in order
from having the bed room furniture away. After dinner
went to Hatties by taxi. The Byingtons came and took
us to the cemetery and brought me home. After supper
The Gays took me to the farm with them. I had a
letter from Emma Herriott and in event wrote Mrs Doyle.
Wednesday Jun 26th 1929
I did some washing in the forenoon and
a little sewing. Hattie brought Ida with her
things down to stay with me. After supper Otts
folks came to take us to the cemetery. We read
some in the evening and Mrs Gay was up awhile.
