Tuesday June 6th 1893
We finished the ironing and did a little more
on the rags. In the afternoon Hattie came
over with the horse and she and Fanny went
to their society meeting. I went over home and
took Mother over to Mary Woolfs. When I came
home and found Fanny at home sick, She
felt better by evening. we wanted to go to hear
Mary Anderson graduate but could not.
I had quite a time settling with Mr Hatfield.
Wednesday June 7th 1893
The boys went away this forenoon and Josie and
I cleaned up their room real good. In the
afternoon Fanny and I worked at the rags
and finished them up at five oclock. Hattie
and Edith were here. I went down to see
Mrs Stump after supper.
Thursday June 8th 1893
We washed again the forenoon and got the
dinner. In the afternoon us girls went over to
help Hattie sew. Ott and Fanny stayed till
after supper. After I came home I rolled up
the clothes and Josie and I worked in
the yard till nearly dark.
Will has sold all his corn and is tearing
down his crib over home.
