Page 42

Friday June 9th 1893
We got the ironing down in the forenoon and
I sewed on Ediths skirt some. I was up town
for a few moments. In the afternoon Mary
Woolf was here. Hattie and Edith came and
went up to see dress parade with Fanny. I
went later but we all hurried home to get
out of a shower. I spent the evening at home.
Saturday June 10th 1893
I was busy all forenoon with the work.
I went up town soon after dinner to get things
for Sunday and on over home with Edith
who was here for dinner. I came home
before supper. Josie went over to stay all night
with Agnes. Ott & Fanny went to the opera house.
Sunday June 11th 1893
It was a cool cloudy morning. Will and I went
out to Tishies for carpet rags for Fanny. It was
nearly noon when we got home. Josie had
dinner nearly ready. We spent the evening
at home and in the evening went to the
concert at St Marys church. Ott & Fanny
came in time to go. They stayed over
the river till after supper.
It grew very much warmed toward evening.
I wrote to Vene she wrote me Orr Baker died Thursday evening at six oclock.
