Sunday March 30th 1924
I felt much better. I should have had a doctor
before, wrote to Ida in forenoon. I went to Miss Tomlinsons
for dinner. I wrote Hattie after I came home. I sent
telegram to Ed Reed. I read in evening while Mattie went to church.
Monday March 31sy 1924
I was ready to go to Portsmouth at ten oclock. After a
dinner at Hotel Washington I went up to The Reeds. I
found Sue would be taken from The old home
instead of her own. Sallie was there too. I was so
glad I went. I was expected. Soon after we came
from the cemetery. I went to the hotel and to Piketon
on the bus. Spent the evening at C K Pattersons.
Tuesday April 1st 1924
I did not get up very early. Some snow on the ground.
I called on Mrs Bateman and to dinner at Pattersons.
Later Mrs Patterson drove out for the Brown Girls and
we attended a club meeting. She brought Mrs Charlie
Brown and I to the station for the 4.30 train. John
met me at Chillicothe. They were going out. Rested in
evening. Had letter from Hattie. Ida and Mrs Falk.
Wednesday April 2nd 1924
I wrote to Hattie and read some. I rested
awhile after dinner. Then went to Dr office and to
call on Mrs Tomlinson. A letter from Hattie. She
and Fannie have been in Des Moines. The State
has bought what was Robs house and Presbyterian
manse. weather bright but cool today.
