Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1876-November 15, 1877

Page 111

111 Friday October 6th 1876 I sewed all the forenoon and right away after dinner I washed out some things and while they were drying I walked down to Robinsons. When I came back I ironed before supper. Hattie and Rob took supper at Billingsleys. I knit some at the night. Saturday October 7th 1876 I went to town the first thing this morning and as soon as I came home I helped with the work. Mother went to town in the afternoon and I sewed some. After we got the supper work done I finished Fathers shirts and did some mending. Sunday October 8th 1876 It was late when we got the work done up and I helped with the house-work all the forenoon. Jim Folsom spent the evening here Two of the boys came down stairs to sing with we girls I dident read or write a bit today and I dont feel that I am so very much rested. pleasant day.
