Tuesday October 31st 1905 Will churned for me in the morning. They began to husk corn again today. I did some sewing but my hands are so sore I could not do much. I hear Hattie is sick tonight. I read all the evening. Wednesday November 1st 1905 We caught two coops of chickens and Will took them to town. I went down home on the 12:30 and helped Mother a little. Hattie looks very badly. They had the Dr for her in the evening. weather pleasant Thursday November 2nd 1905 We caught more chickens for Will to take to town. It looked so much like rain I did not try to work. I baked a cake that I took down home in the afternoon. Hattie is better and is sitting up today. Did evening work Friday November 3rd 1905 Will helped me wash and he took the screens out before noon. He went to town in afternoon and I went as far as Woolfs to spend the afternoon. Mary was there alone and we had such a good visit. I did my ironing in the evening. Fannie and the boys are spending a few days with Otto in Marengo. weather quite pleasant.
