Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1910-December 31, 1911

Page 37

Friday May 6 1910  I helped Will a little about cleaning out the chicken house where the hens had set and getting them ready for the young chicks.  I have taken cold and have that hurt in my [chest?] and left lung.  I sewed in afternoon.  William Byington is 12 years old today.  Saturday May 7 1910  It began to rain early this morning we got the little chickens fixed so they were all safe.  I did not do much today.  Will went in town after early dinner and got me some medicine.  Mother thought she felt better today.  I went to bed early.  Will is 62 years old today.  Sunday May 8 1910  We did not get up early so the forenoon was short.  Will and I talked a long time about banking in the new bank and taking stock.  I read and wrote some in the afternoon and looked after my chickens  I do not feel well so went to bed early.
