Page 23

Sunday April 2nd 1893
I was busy about the work all forenoon. Josie
went to church. The folks went to church and
then over the river for dinner. Will and I went
to Woolfs and stopped at home a little while.
we spent the evening at home and the folks
went to church. I felt very tired.
This has been Easter Sunday. Willie went back to Chicago.
Monday April 3rd 1893
We got the washing out in good time this morning
and I went up town. Fanny and her Mother went
up to Johnsons. In the afternoon Hattie & Edith
were here and Jennie Woolf brought me some
butter. The evening spent at home talking.
This was Our Robs birthday.
Tuesday April 4th 1893
We ironed this forenoon and got the dinner. I
was up town. Fanny and her Mother made calls
and in the afternoon went to the church meeting.
They all came down here after that. It was the
first time Mother had been over.
I went up town with Will after supper and then
went down the street to look at a fire.
We visited at home the rest of the evening.
weather very warm for the time of year.
