Tuesday October 17th 1893 I got my ironing done in the forenoon besides other work. In the afternoon I went in the buggy over to Fannys for a call. Aunt Ems girls were there. I took Mother on over to Mary Woolfs with me. I got a nice lot of tomatoes to put up. I got supper over after I come home and put away the clothes. Fanny spent the evening here. Mrs Fuller is not able to go to meals. Wednesday October 18th 1893 I worked all forenoon putting up tomatoes and did not get them all done till after dinner. I then cleaned up the kitchen and went up town for Mrs Fuller. I went over to the church to society for a little while. Thursday October 19th 1893 I began early to rake in the yard and worked till eleven oclock. I then got my dinner over and pout in another hour in the yard. I then cleaned out the old desk in the kitchen and did some other work. At four oclock I went up to sit an hour with Mrs Fuller who is in bed. Friday October 20th 1893 I cleaned up the wood-house and went up town before dinner. In the afternoon went over home with the buggy took Mother down to Mollie Stevens, went to see the Murphy girls in the evening but they were not at home.
