Iowa Byington Reed diary, August 1, 1903-April 30, 1904

Page 54

Friday February 12th 1904
I had ironing and churning to do this morning.
In the afternoon I picked out nuts for a cake.
Mollie went to town tonight. I read in the evening.
Saturday February 13th 1904
I did sweeping up stairs, baked bread and cake
and got the dinner. Will went town in the
afternoon and I went as far as home. Lorie is
very poorly. a paper from Chillocothe tells of
the death of Anna Goldsberry. I read all evening.
Sunday February 14th 1904
weather colder again. I was at home all day. I
read and wrote when not busy with the work.
Mollie came about the middle of the afternoon.
Monday February 15th 1904
It was intensely cold. I had churning besides
the regular work. It was so cold I could not
accomplish any thing. The men did the
work about the barn. It was too bad to go on
the road. I read and knit in the evening.
