Thursday July 19th 1894
I went to town with apples this morning and was
over home a little while. Mother does not feel well.
I came home in time to get dinner and worked all
afternoon doing baking. It was intensely hot. The
boys were helping Uncle Jim thresh.
Friday July 20th 1894
We had quite a nice rain last night. I did not go
to town today. The Robinsons were out for a call this
morning and Father & Mother were here all day.
The boys cleaned out the cider press and made
cider in the afternoon. They went to help thresh about
four oclock and we did not have supper till very late.
Saturday July 21st 1894
I went to town early this morning and took in apples. I
was over the river a little while I did not go in
with Will in the afternoon. it was three oclock when
he started. After an early supper we went out to
Charlie Hedges. It was ten oclock when we got home.
Sunday July 22nd 1894
We went to church this morning and Dr. Kessler told
Will they have a girl baby out to Hedges as soon as
I could get our dinner over we drove to the valley.
Called at Aunt Ema anmd at Stevens. John S--- is 
home for a few days visit. We got home at six
oclock and just before I had supper ready
