Saving...
Friday June 14th 1901 Will and I went down this morning and found Mrs Folsom had died in the night. Hattie was there and I stayed awhile and then went over home to talk with Mother about selling some lots. Will went on to town. Will Woolf starts to Delavan tomorrow to attend the funeral of his brother Anthony on Sunday. Saturday June 15th 1901 We went early after strawberries came back past home and left a few with Mother. Hattie was just starting after some. Came home to get dinner and went back in the afternoon. Will went to town. Sunday June 16th 1901 I was busy most of the forenoon with the work and went to Mrs Folsoms funeral in the afternoon and Mary Woolf went with me. Will had been over in the pasture looking after the stock till he was too worn out to go. It was late when I got home. Monday June 17th 1901 We went after strawberries and got enough that I put up six quarts before I went down home at two oclock. I stopped at Woolfs a few moments. Will rode home with me. He and Mr Vaugn are fixing Mothers fence around the yard
