Sunday December 9th 1928
We went into the city to The 4th Presbyterian
Church. Came home for dinner and went
out to LaGrange to see Louie Bremner. Late home.
The Levagoods came to spend the evening.
Monday December 10th 1928
I packed up and Winnie came with me to the
station. I did not feel well. I have some cold.
Mary & Buddy met me. I stopped at my
rooms. So many of the family are sick. Mr Dow
and Blanche were just able to go home. Cora and
Robert both sick as well as Fannie and Aunt
Emma. I went up town and got things for
supper. A lot of mail here. Wrote Winnie, doctored
up and to bed. It is ten years today Will died.
Tuesday December 11th 1928
I went up town to pay bills and get things.
In the afternoon wrote Lydia, LeGrand, Lois
Simpson. Took the letters up town. I got a box of
fruit from The Falks. I wrote to her and Ida
in evening. Then took a hot bath and went to bed.
Wednesday December 12th 1928
I read and did the work in AM. Slept most of
the afternoon. Wrote Mrs Doyle. Hattie came and
we went to The S. U. I. play. Home late.
It is ten years today Will was buried and
thirty since Edith was buried. Mary Woolfs birthday.
