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

Page 137

Saturday April 8 1911  I was sewing all day on my [illegible] dress skirt I am working over.  Will to town.  We got more interest from Dakota today.  The treatment has been changed and Mothers foot seems more comfortable tonight.   Sunday April 9 1911   I did not feel like going to church.  I got the dinner early and went to Woolfs on the 1.15 car.  I walked on over home.  Mother took a ride with Ott in the afternoon  I did not come home till 8.30.   Monday April 10 1911   I sewed all day on my green skirt and cut out my brown silk petticoat.  Weather not so pleasant as yesterday.  Will got George [Warrens?] horse to haul up wood.   Tuesday April 11 1911  I sewed all day on my petticoat.  Mothers foot is no worse and perhaps a little better.   Wednesday April 12 1911.  Did churning and some baking.  I finished my brown petticoat today.  A hard rain storm with lightning tonight.
