Page 55

Saturday November 11th 1905
I put up the curtains and did the regular work. We
went to town in afternoon. I got a present to send
to Faye Cormine. I wrote her Mother and to Lydia
Mason this morning. I went to Dr Smiths office for
medicine for my hands. I got me a pair of shoes.
It was such a pleasant evening we went down to Woolfs.
Sunday November 12th 1905
It was a very pleasant day. We went to church and over
home for dinner. Hattie was not well enough to go. We
took a ride away around by Henry Birds place house.
Mrs Thomas was here for a call. Did evening work and
read in the evening.
Monday November 13th 1905
Will helped me do the washing early. The boys are
husking corn. Mary Woolf was run over by an automobile
in town this morning and badly hurt. Will went down as
soon as he ate dinner. He went on to Elliotts sale. I did
the ironing in afternoon. Mrs Pell was here. Frankie Pointin here in evening.
Tuesday November 14th 1905
I was busy about the house all forenoon. We went to town
in afternoon. Stopped to see Mary a few moments. I got some
things in town. Saw Fannie for the first since her return
from Marshalltown. I went over home. Hattie is very poorly.
Mrs Koser spent the evening here.
