Iowa Byington Reed diary, July 1, 1902-July 31, 1903

Page 22

Saturday September 6th 1902
Walter went away for a couple of days and Will
and I went down town and stopped at home
for dinner. Hattie is in Burlington. Came home
early to do chores. a nice bright day.
We stopped at Mary Woolfs to see Joe who came last night.
Sunday September 7th 1902
I was busy about the house all forenoon.
After an early dinner we went down to Marys
to spend the afternoon. The girls were both there.
Monday September 8th 1902
It looked like rain but we got threshing
done today. I had 22 men for two meals
and we got a few hundred bushels of grain
threshed out. I had Mrs C Cork to help
me and we got along very well. It was
a very hard day though. Mollie came
last night and began her school today.
It is 22 years today since John & Hattie
were married. They came from Burlington today.
