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

Page 85

Monday April 27th 1903
I washed all the forenoon in the garret. The
rag man came just in time to take my 5 sacks of
rags. I did some neglected house work in the afternoon
and some mending.
Tuesday April 28th 1903
Will churned for me this morning. I put in the
most of the forenoon in the garret and some time
in the afternoon. Will went to town a few moments
in the afternoon. There is a big Odd Fellows meeting.
Wednesday April 29th 1903
I baked bread and had a little boy help me
work. Mollie and I were going to town after school
but it set in to rain so had to give it up.
I read in the evening.
Thursday April 30th 1903
There was snow on the ground this morning and
cold too. I ironed and churned. Mollie and I
went to town after school. I got a new dress and
other things. It is cold as winter though bright.
