Page 24

Saturday September 13th 1902
I had ironing and baking to do and tried to
churn and had to thrown it away. It was the
middle of the afternoon when my work was
done. Joe and I visited. It was a cold windy
day and Will went in the afternoon to find a hired man. Will sold 7 hogs for $116.40.
Sunday September 14th 1902
It was warmer but a hard wind blowing. Joe
and I went to church and to Fannies for
dinner. Will had no help and could not go.
We spent the evening at home. Mollie here.
Monday September 15th 1902
I was busy with the wash most of the forenoon.
I talked with Joe and did sewing in the afternoon.
It is 18 years tonight since Bro Rob died.
Tuesday September 16th 1902
Joe and I spent a pleasant day down
home. Mollie took her dinner to school
and Will was busy here about the place.
