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

Page 57

Thursday January 15th 1903
I hurried with the work all forenoon. Lew Price
came for Ida. We got the ironing done and I the
bread baked and dinner ready by noon. Will
and I went to town in the afternoon. I was at
the Dr office. Hattie & Fannie were here
while we were away. I sewed rags in the evening.
Friday January 16th 1903
It was such a pleasant day. I was busy with
the work most of the forenoon. Will churned for
me. After dinner he helped me fix things up in
the shed and I gave the kitchen a good cleaning.
Mollie went down to Fannies to stay all night.
Saturday January 17th 1903
It was not so pleasant as yesterday. I had
intended to do a lot of sweeping, but I had
such a cold I sat by the fire the most of the
day and cut carpet rags. I read in the
evening. Took medicine and went to bed early.
