Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1923-December 31, 1924

Page 126

Sunday December 7th 1924
Went to S S and church with Ott. After dinner
looked over the papers and took a short
ride with the folks. Read in the evening.
Monday December 8th 1924
I wrote to Sallie Reed in AM and went to
town with Fannie. At 3.20 Ott came to take
her to the station to go to Des Moines. I went to
a picture show "The Classmates." Ott and I
were up to Hatties to supper but did not stay
long. It grew very cold toward evening.
A letter from Lydia enclosing one I wrote her
Mother in 1900. Martie reached North Carolina all well.
Tuesday December 9th 1924
It is 26 years today since Edith died. I
was busy about house all AM. Ott away all
day. I went to town in a taxi to attend "The
Theif of Bagdad." weather unpleasant. I had letter
from Mattie Fletcher telling of Marys death
and one from Mable McDougall. Edith Whetstone
went away this afternoon.
Wednesday December 10th 1924
I did some writing and crotchet work in
AM. Very cold. Went to Missionary meeting at
Lou Hughes. Home to supper. Fannie came tonight.
I wrote letters in the evening. It is six
years today since Will was taken away.
