Page 49

Thursday October 19th 1905
It was raining again this morning. The boys could not do
much of any thing. I worked on a stand cover and Will
and I talked a lot of what we would do if we sold the farm.
Friday October 20th 1905
I got my work done up early and went down home on
the 9:30 car. I stopped at Fannie to talk with Aunt Fannie
Hepburn who is here. I was up home for dinner. Will was
down town in afternoon but I came home on the 4 oclock
car. Will got more apples from Woolfs. I read all evening.
It was ten years today since Charlie was buried.
Saturday October 21st 1905
I was busy all forenoon doing the sweeping and other
work. The boys went to Woolfs for the rest of the apples
and Will went up to see about Jennie's corn to buy it.
He went to town on the 12:30 and I went up to spend
the afternoon with Mrs Dennis. It was a cool day.
Did evening work. I am worried about mu chickens being sick.
Sunday October 22nd 1905
I got my work done early and we went to the
Presbyterian church. From there over home for dinner.
Otts family were there too. They went to Mr Carsons
funeral in afternoon. we came home. I did the
evening work and did some visiting. weather pleasanter.
