Friday September 19th 1924
It rained all day. Was at home. Wrote Birdie
and Lizzie Duncan in AM. Sewed some for
myself. Had letter from Laura. I will go over
there soon. Wrote to her and Lizzie Lindley I eve.
Saturday September 20th 1924
I went to town in AM. Did a number of
errands and went home with Rob to dinner.
Hattie and I came down town in street car and
she went on over to Otts where she stayed till
after supper. Cora came for her. I went to a
picture show and home in the bus.
Sunday September 21st 1924
I went to church with Ott and was taken into
The Presbyterian church by letter. The wind blew a
perfect gale all afternoon, much cooler. We rode up
to Hatties and to bid Mary Anderson Cox good-bye. Wrote L D L.
Monday September 22nd 1924
I wrote Laura had letter from L D L. Ride to town with
Ott after dinner. Took Jennie Sterritt to store and selected
a rug for her. Came back in Bus to Orie Spencers. Took ride before supper.
Tuesday September 23rd 1924
Wrote Mattie Stitt & Laura. Washed dress. I rode to
town and back in Bus to do errands. At two oclock the
men came to get the rest of my things from the old
house I gave to Jennie. She came over. It seemed good
to get back in the old house. Ott, Fannie and I rode down
to Stevens for [mats?] before supper. Fannie & Jena cleaned garret.
