Page 252

Friday May 14th 1915
I went over to Lee's in forenoon. The men were out
around the town part of the day. I visited with Mrs
McCall and did some writing. Did packing in evening.
Saturday May 15th 1915
We left McCalls soon after breakfast. John O'Neil
came to the LaSalle St Station to see us. Reached South
Bend at 12:20. Winnie met us. Went out to Notre Dame
in afternoon. It rained so we stayed at home in evening.
Sunday May 16th 1915
Went to church and had dinner at hotel. Then went
to Mishawaka to the cemetery where Aunt Mellina is
buried. There was such a cold wind there was no
comfort in any thing. Ida Miles came and stayed till
after supper. Went to bed early.
Monday May 17th 1915
We women folks were down town in forenoon and went
into picture show. Will went with us in afternoon and
we were all down towm in evening to see lighted streets.
Tuesday May 18th 1915
We had an Auto ride over the city before
leaving at 10:20. Winnie had surely made our
stay here very pleasant. Had a good train to
Toledo and the wait there was not at all tedious.
We reached Columbus at 8:50 and went to "The Star"
hotel for the night. It had been like winter
time all day.
