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

Page 173

174. Thursday April 5th 1877. I finished my apron this forenoon and cut out a wrapper and worked on it in the afternoon. The girls went over to Folsoms. Win was over here awhile. Mr Baily and sister went to prayer meeting in the evening and late in the evening the young folks played cards. Mr Ziegler was here to stay all night with Mr Cattrell. I went to bed early. Friday April 6th 1877. I finished my wrapper this forenoon and in the afternoon went out to see Mrs Dennison and did not come home till after supper. In the evening all hands went to society and from there down to Wins where we had a good time. And did not get home till midnight. I came to the conclusion today that I would not go home with Miss Baily She will probably stay another week and we will make a visit to the valley. My cold is some better. The weather quite warm today. I see by the paper my old friend Flo Watson is at home.
