Thursday July 5th 1916
Will and I were invited down to Fannies for dinner
all the Whetstones were there. We girls had a fine
day. I rode up town with Rob in time for the 5:30 home.
Friday July 7th 1916
I was at home all day. I fixed the pants to a
new suit Will got Monday and slept two hours in
afternoon. I feel so tired. I got on the porch all evening.
Saturday July 8th 1916
I swept the house all over and did baking. Will went
to town in afternoon to get more medicine from the Dr.
We sat on the porch all evening. very warm.
The folks went to Mrs Euclid Sanders funeral late in
the afternoon. Uncle Jim is much better.
Sunday July 9th 1916
I went to church alone and after getting me some
lunch went out to Aunt Emmas. The folks were
nearly all there and we had a good visit. Ethel had
the baby christened today. Leslie went away to his work
I was at Elmers awhile. Got home at 4:30. Ott & Fannie
came soon after in the new car. I wrote some after supper.
This is Mary Briggs and Aunt Libs birthday.
Monday July 10th 1916
I washed and ironed some and went to town
late in afternoon. I did more work after I came home.
It was a pleasant day. Franklin Pointain spent
the evening on the porch with us.
