Thursday August 27th 1925
The girls hired a taxi to take Lydia to Peoria to have
some dental work done. I read in forenoon and in
afternoon wrote Ida, Mrs Smith at Orange Masshachuset,
and replied to a letter from Joe Williams. The girls got
home about four oclock. We were home in evening.
Friday August 28th 1925
It was a warm day. Edith did washing and
ironing. I rested in PM. Did a little writing. Mr
Albers took us to the Cemetery after early supper and
for a ride. We stopped up town awhile. Callers later.
Saturday August 29th 1925
I rode up town with Edith and a friend early in
the AM. They were going to Pekin. I did errands and
walked home. Letter from Hattie. She says Fannie will
reach home tonight. A letter from Warner McCall
also. Wrote them and Joe Woolf in PM. Took the letters
to the depot. George Alexander and wife with a lady
I knew who was Lizzie McKee from Iowa City called in evening.

I called Mr Albers to take Edith and me to S S and
church. The Clarks, The Websters with visiting friends
called in PM. Evening spent on the porch. Very warm.

A very warm day. I did some washing for
myself. Edith went to school a half day and did
their washing in afternoon. Mr Albers took me over
