Page 63

Sunday August 20th 1893
I staid at home all forenoon with Vene. Will
was up town with Harry. Jim was over to the
fair ground all the later part of the night and
slept most of the day. Will Vene and I went over
to Rohers in the afternoon and in the evening
Harry went to church with us and Will talked
with Jim. It has been a day pleasantly spent.
Monday August 21st 1893
I put up our things this morning and talked
with Vene awhile before going over to Duncans.
After dinner we drove out to see Jennie Culbertson
and her Mother. The evening was spent at home.
Tuesday August 22nd 1893
Will, Lizzie, and I went to the cemetery this
morning taking Vene with us. It was very warm
and dusty. I did not feel like going to the fair
so spent the afternoon and evening at Duncans.
I had a letter from Hattie this evening.
Wednesday August 23rd 1893
I started early in the forenoon and called at
Rachael Hess, Mrs Adams and Hortie McKinstrys.
I went to Bakers for dinner. Vene was there and I
went to the fair with her all afternoon. Will
and I took supper at Joe Duncans. He and Josie
started to Chicago this morning. I spent a pleasant.
