Iowa Byington Reed diary, April 1, 1905-December 31, 1906

Page 54

Tuesday November 7th 1905
We did churning this morning and was busy all forenoon.
Went down home in afternoon. Fannie and the boys
went to Marshalltown. I did evening work after coming
home and spent the evening down to Mrs Davis. A letter from Lydia.
Wednesday November 8th 1905
Will helped me wash this morning. We hurried through
the dinner and I went down home with Will as he
went to town. It came up a little flurry of snow so
we came home. It cleared of and I went down to
Frankie Pointins to spend the evening.
Thursday November 9th 1905
I got the ironing done before noon and in the afternoon
washed and ironed lace curtains. Will went up in
the country to a sale. A fine day. I was tired and
went to bed early.
Friday November 10th 1905
Will churned for me. I was busy all the forenoon
and did not seem to accomplish much. Will went
to town and I went down home to spend the
afternoon. Hattie is not at all well and went
to the Dr for medicine today. I did evening
work and read the papers.
