Page 108

Monday January 15th 1894
I went over to the east side of town this
morning to see about a chicken but did not get it.
Will went down to the valley to see Hart Spencer
about buying hogs. he got back so we had early
dinner and I spent the afternoon over to Fannys.
The weather is mild and threatening rain.
Tuesday January 16th 1894
I made some hominy this forenoon. Mrs Main
and Ella were in to look at the house this
morning. I wrote to Mother after getting my dinner
work done and did a little sewing. Hattie &
Fanny were here a little time late in the
afternoon. I spent the evening at home.
Wednesday January 17th 1894
It was a nice day and Will washed for me.
I got the porches and walks all cleaned up
before noon. I soon got dinner over. In the
afternoon I went up to Dr Murphys office for my
medicine and then over to the church to
quilt awhile. It looked so much like rain I
did not stay long. I came home took the
clothes of the line and ironed some of them.
I was tired and spent the evening at home.
Allie Holson came to stay all night.
