Page 63

Thursday December 17th 1925
I went down town for more cards, put in the
day visiting. Letters and cards to Frank Woolf, Blanche
Abernathy, Col Eggleston, Rie Sanford, Tishie Hedges, The Pickens,
The Lowes, Stella Webster, Walter Falk, Jim Dunlap, Mrs O'Leary.
Cards to Harry Mason & Don McDougall. We went down
town early for Ott. Then out to Ruths for birthday party. Letters from Hattie & Fannie and Edith Whetstone.
Friday December 18th 1925
There was a heavy rain in the AM. I was busy
with writing most of the day. Letters with cards to
Alma Wenig, Nettie Moore, Gertrude Smith, Joe Williams,
Aunt Emma and Cousin Jen. Cards to The McDougalls
and Harry Mason. Went for Ott. Supper after we got home.
Saturday December 19th 1925
I did some washing for myself and went over the
house. Wrote letters with cards in to Millie Byington,
Mrs Bradway, Jim Carnavan, Ida Burkett, Lou Simpson,
Anne Henslee, Winnie Lowrence, Lizzie Duncan. We
went down for Ott and with Mr Kee attended a
show in a wonderful theater. The crowd down town great. Wrote Hattie.
Sunday December 20th 1925
I wrote Helen Danner Louis and Lydia today. Ott
was busy all forenoon cooking a fine dinner. Emily
and her husband with Mr Kee was here for two
meals and spent the evening. I wonder what the
weather was like in Delavan. The girls were to get
flowers for me to present to The Presbyterian Church
in Wills memory today. I wish I could have been there.
