time I had and finished it. Rode with Ott in evening.
Cora home in afternoon. She and Rob away in evening.

A hard rain last night. I went to the M E Church,

I went to town with Rob soon after breakfast to get
things for my sewing. Emma came in afternoon to fix
the green silk dress that she made before Will died
and I had never worn it. The girls to Mrs Swishers
to a P E O meeting. We took Emma home and the folks
did their packing. A letter from Nellie Boswell says they
have moved to Cleveland. Ida is in Granville Ohio.
