Page 72

Thursday September 21st 1893
I ironed early this morning and helped Will
a little about the fence. I went over the
river but it looked so much like rain I
did not stay long. Will is working on the fence
Anna went to Davenport to school today.
Friday September 22nd 1893
I was busy all forenoon with doing baking
after I had been up town. I helped Will some
with the fence after dinner and sewed on Mothers
dress. I worked on it in the evening. It rained
again late in the afternoon.
Saturday September 23rd 1893
I was busy about the work all forenoon. Will
cut a lot of limbs from the trees in the
yard. I went over home an early dinner to
help sew. Will and I were up town after supper.
Mr & Mrs Fuller went to Chicago tonight.
Sunday September 24th 1893
It was a rainy morning. I was busy about 
the house. In the afternoon Will and I
walked over the river. I got supper when we
came home and them went to church.
