I was busy all forenoon with work. Went to town at 1.30
am having teeth fixed. Called at Mrs Coldrens on
Mattie Fletcher. Came home at 4.05. Was busy till bed-time. Card from Alma.
Saturday November 3rd 1906
I cleaned the cellar and got dinner. Will to town in
forenoon. Went back on 12.30. I took the horse & buggy.
I stopped at Woolfs and at home and went on to town
for Will. Did evening work and read & wrote some.
Sunday November 4th 1906
I went to church and soon had dinner ready when
I got home. Will hitched Nellie for me and Hattie and
I spent all the afternoon in the cemetery. Read in evening.
Monday November 5th 1906
I did the washing alone and then got the dinner and
went down to have work done on my teeth in afternoon.
I hurried home and worked at house work all evening.
Tuesday November 6th 1906
We were up early. I did Wills dinner and he left at
7.30 for the voting place in West Lucas. I ironed in
the forenoon and did a lot of work up stairs. I swept
the lower story in afternoon. Clara Shultz came out to
stay all night with me. We visited till late bed-time.
Will does not expect to get home tonight. The Election
returns are favorable for Ott so far.
