Page 24

Friday April 21st 1916
A beautiful day. Ella & I went down town in forenoon
to see the "101 Ranch" parade. Spent the afternoon at home
doing fancy work. Was ovfer to Art Mc for dinner and
after supper again. Catherine came home this evening.
Saturday April 22bd 1916
Jane did not feel well today. I took a street car ride
in forenoon and called to see Nllie Williams but did
not find her at home. I went to see Gertrude Mitchell
in afternoon. Jane felt so badly they had the Dr late in afternoon.
Sunday April 23rd 1916
Easter Sunday. I went to the Christian Church and Will
& I were at Art Mc for dinner. We spent the evening
at Janes reading. She was in bed and Art & Ella went
down town awhile. A beautiful day.
Monday April 24th 1916
I washed a couple of pieces we needed and went
down town for some things. I had to go back in the
evening to change a pair of gloves. Jane is up today.
Tuesday April 25th 1916
We packed up a few things and had some lunch so
we left the house before eleven oclock to go to
Mountain View to visit Arch Stinsons. It rained most
of the day but stopped before we got there.
Arch met us we spent the evening pleasantly
with the family. This would have been Bro Charlies
70th birthday anniversary. Wrote to Ott.
