Saturday September 6th 1924
Ott went with Mr VanHorne to Brooklyn today and
was home for late dinner. I went to town for the
mail and a treatment with Dr Stryker. Rode home
in bus. Knit on bag in PM. Alliene Johnston and
family and Hattie here for awhile in the evening.
Sunday September 7th 1924
I walked to church and Ott came for me. Fannie
was sick in bed most of the day. I wrote to Mattie Stitt,
Ida Burkett, Ann Henslee, Ella Wilcox, Sister Ida,
Mrs C K Patterson and sent Old Settlers book to some.
Monday September 8th 1924
It is 44 years today since John & Hattie were
married. I was busy knitting on bag. I walked to
town in PM. Went to picture show. Rode home in Bus.
Tuesday September 9th 1924
I finished Catherines bag and packed it, then
wrote she and Birdie. Sent them by Jean
to be mailed. Fannie and I rode to Washington
with Ott in afternoon. Roads perfect and fine ride.
Wednesday September 10th 1924
It rained most of the day. But I went to The
Missionary meeting at Mrs Custers in the afternoon.
Hattie came back with me. Mrs Swisher was
here when Cora came for Hattie. She brought
me a letter from Ida. Ott down to Rock
Island for the day.
