Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1880-December 31, 1880

Page 27

Thursday March 18th 1880 I did the ironing this forenoon. Win came over and wanted me to come over there tonight. I concluded to go. Charlie came about the middle of the afternoon. I was busy about some baking in the afternoon. Charlie took me over to Wins about eight oclock. She was disappointed in her company. Mr Berlin did not come and Mr Seers came down and took his place we had a pleasant game of cards I staid all night.
Friday March 19th 1880 I helped with the work all the forenoon after getting over from Wins. Ornie Nelson came up today Charlie went home this afternoon Mother went to the depot with him. Llana Mygatt was here all the afternoon. We all went to the exhibition tonight. It was a nice affair but Win and I both got sick and left before it was done. Otto did very well indeed. The weather was splendid for it.
