Iowa Byington Reed diary, July 1, 1902-July 31, 1903

Page 49

Wednesday December 17th 1902
It was pleasanter and we got washing done
and other work by noon. We went to town in
the afternoon. Stopped at home, found Clara better.
I did some shopping and was at the Dr office.
I felt too tried to do anything at night.
Thursday December 18th 1902
We had baking on hand this forenoon so I got
little sewing done in the afternoon. I finished
my new waist and cut out the lining to a
waist of a dress that Lorie gave me to fix over.
I knit in the evening and talked with Mollie.
Friday December 19th 1902
I helped all forenoon with the work as there
was ironing and churning to do. Ida went to town
in the afternoon. It was Mollies last day of
school. Frank came for her and got the
quarter of beef they bought. Will sold one to
\Mr Vaughn and took one down home and some
potatoes the folks wanted. It rained tonight.
