Page 130

Tuesday December 23rd 1924
It snowed most of the day. I was busy
with different things. Ott was not home
for dinner. Fannie went to town in taxi to do
shopping. I had long letter from Lydia telling
of the wreck with sleet storm there. a letter
from LeGrand and several cards. Wrote H E Rowe.
Wednesday December 24th 1924
I went to town in the forenoon and back
in a taxi. I got a gift for Emma Fellman and
some thing for our grab bag. Ott got the car
started so he and Fannie went about four
oclock to distribute presents. They got Hattie,
Cora and Marjorie Hartsock who had come on
a PM train from the west. After supper I went
with the. Took my things to Tishies & Jennies
family and we took The Whetstones home. It
has been a frightfully cold day. We looked
at our things tonight. I had a letter from
Mattie Stitt & Walter Pratt, and many cards.
