Page 57

Sunday November 19th 1905
I was about home all day. I read and wrote what
spare time I had. Weather pleasant. I looked for
Rob & Cora out or I would have gone down home awhile.
Monday November 20th 1905
It was 21 years today since Charlie & Ida were
married. Ott is sick today. Will helped me wash
in the morning. We went down town in the afternoon.
Stopped at Woolfs. Hattie rode down to Fannies with
me. Mother went over to Aunt Libs.
Tuesday November 21st 1905
The men in the neighborhood gathered Jennie
Danners corn for her. I kept the dinner
waiting thinking some of them would he here but they ate
up at Mrs Danners. I sewed some in afternoon. I did
the ironing and did churning in the forenoon.
Wednesday November 22nd 1905
They finished the corn today. Will bought it and it
brought $80.80. Father brought Mother out this forenoon
and I took her home in the afternoon. The boys
went to the timber for a couple of loads of
Wood. Mother and I stopped at Woolfs and
then went on to town. I left her at home. Hattie
does not feel any better. a fine day. I read in evening.
