Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1920-December 31, 1922

Page 84

Tuesday February 15th 1921
I wrote to Ott and read some. Then rode over to
Daytona with Mr Dunlap. He took us out to dinner and we
rode most of the afternoon. Some friends of Mrs Miller were
with us who knew Warner McCall in River Forest. In the
evening. Mrs Miller and I went to a fine concert.
Wednesday February 16th 1921
We left Daytona about ten oclock. Mrs Marrion Dunlap
and two other ladies went with us for the ride. Such a
pleasant one. I found Mrs Falk alone and we had a
fine visit before the family (she now has) with Mr Falk
came back from The Orlando Fair. 20 years today we went to Coralville to live.
Thursday February 17th 1921
Mrs Falk and I went down town when Mr Pickens
took Myron to school. We called on Mrs Bunn. I bought
a trunk. After dinner Mrs Falk made called. I went to the
Library and wrote a letter to Hattie and sent some cards.
We came home at 4 oclock.
Friday February 18th 1921
I was at home all day. I read a little and slept in
afternoon. I had letters from Ida, Lorie Foltz, and Mrs Moore
who was on the train from St Louis. The folks played cards in evening.
Saturday February 19th 1921
I went to town with Mr Pickens and Mrs Shaver. I
did a few errands. The lettering was on my trunk so I
paid for that. A long letter from Lydia. I slept part
of afternoon. Mrs Falk in town. Every body home in evening.
