Monday August 15th 1904
Will helped me do a big washing in the morning
and soon after dinner we went to Mrs Karns funeral.
We came back from the house and I was busy with
the evening work.
Tuesday August 16th 1904
Will churned for me this morning and I got the
ironing done and dinner ready for the men who
are stacking oats. I was busy all afternoon and
had the men here for supper. late when work was done.
Wednesday August 17th 1904
The men finished the stacking by ten oclock. I
had a little work in the garden in the forenoon
and had early dinner. We went out to the fair
grounds to the coaching parade. It was a 
beautiful sight. Hattie got second prize on her
carriage. It looked like rain so we came home early.
Thursday August 18th 1904
The home folks, Otts family and Joe Williams
came out on the care before dinner and staid
till five oclock. We had nice day. I did
evening work after they had gone home.
