Page 24

Thursday October 22nd 1903
I got my morning work done and a nice
dinner ready. Mother, Aunt Fannie, Hattie & Otts
boys were out for the day. We had a nice visit.
I talked with Mollie all evening. I was very tired
I had a letter from Lydia Mason. Her father &
\Mother started to Oklahoma on Tuesday.
Friday October 23rd 1903
I went to town early this morning, did a little
trading and went to the Dr office. I got my dinner
over and worked all afternoon making quince preserves
and jelly and fixing my pickle. Mollie went home.
Saturday October 24th 1903
I had Warren help me wash. We were done a little
after ten oclock. I cleaned up the house got our
dinners. Will went to town in the afternoon.
I ironed and put up my pickle in the jars.
It was a nice day. The boys are making a
fence around the barn yard. I did some
mending, read a little, took a bath and
went to bed early.
