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

Page 71

Saturday March 7th 1903
It was a bright day. I was busy all forenoon with
sweeping and baking and sewed in afternoon. Will
went to town in the morning with a neighbor and
walked back in the afternoon to see about selling
some horses. The boy went visiting down the valley.
Sunday March 8th 1903
It was bright but the roads are very bad.
Mollie got back before supper, she had been down
town. Gordon got back too. I read and wrote what
spare time I had during the day. Talked all evening.
Monday March 9th 1903
It was still pleasant. I had churning to do in
the evening and the housework kept me busy
most of the day. The men busy about the place.
Tuesday March 10th 1903
Will was down town all day. I went the folks
butter he walked down. I did a little sewing
and was showing Nelson some things I wanted
done about the yard.
