Sunday June 12th 1892
I was busy all the forenoon with the work. Some
of the folks went to church. The folks were over
from town in the afternoon and we all sat in the
yard. It was a very warm day. The greater
part of the boarders, the company and family
spent the evening on the porch.
Monday June 13th 1892
I had some extra work to do up stairs this forenoon.
I was sewing a little in the afternoon. Mother was
over town awhile. Will and I got ready to go to
Halsons for supper but it came such a hard rain
we could not go. Will took me over town this morning
Mr Telfords sister came this morning.
Tuesday June 14th 1892
It was quite a fine day. We washed and ironed
both a little and I done some baking.
I was fixing Mother a dress. She and Father were
invited over to Halsons to supper.
Wednesday June 15th 1892
I was busy with the dinner all forenoon. The law
class graduated. Mr Telford & Mr Chanty had
company for dinner. The men are plowing corn.
Will took me over to town after supper. I fixed another
dress for Mother this afternoon. Mr Chanty went home.
Thursday June 16th 1892
Mother had a bad accident this morning the
window fell on her face. Mr Telfords sister dressed
it just before she left. They went before noon.
It rained in the afternoon. I was at home all day.
Friday June 17th 1892
Will took me over town this morning in the buggy
I got some more silver so now I have a good supply
I helped get the dinner over and done some things
after before going over to Hatties with Mrs Hagaman.
The boys came over for supper and to spend the [showers?]
evening. We had a pleasant time but had to go [between?]
