Saturday February 7th 1880 I helped with the work till two oclock in the afternoon and went with Father down to Aunty Smiths. I did not stay long but came back up town to get the groceries. I helped Mother get the supper over after I came home and Rob took me back down there to stay all night. Henry Hort came. Sunday February 8th 1880 I came home at day light and went to bed and slept till ten oclock then I got up and helped with the dinner and I done up the work all alone for Mother and Hatt went to Auntys funeral. As soon as I got the dinner dishes washed I went to bed and slept till supper was on the table. Win was over a little while. I read a little in the evening and went to bed early. Two years ago today Etta was buried and what a stormy day it was.
