Page 68

Sunday October 27th 1912
The baby was soon better this evening. I left Nellie's at
nine oclock for Englewood Station. Reached South Bend
ar 12:10. Dick Given met me and soon after dinner Winnie
and I went to the Mishawaka cemetery and found where
Aunt Melissa Holmes was buried. It was fine weather to 
be out. In the evening we went back.
Monday October 28th 1912
I wrote Will this morning and Win & I were up town 
awhile. With a friend of hers went to Verdaville in afternoon.
We visited at home in the evening till I left at 11:20 for Ohio.
Tuesday October 29th 1912
I had a good sleep in my berth last night, reached 
Columbus at 7:35 and left in an half hour for Chillicothe.
When I got there at 9:45 did not find Mary at the depot.
went right to the house and found her in bed. She
was well enough to enjoy my visit but the Dr wants her to
keep from working. We visited all afternoon. fine weather.
Wednesday October 30th 1912
We all rested well last night. Aunt Mary Dunlap (a 
cousin of Mothers 94 years old) called this morning. Mattie
came down before noon and in the afternoon we
called at Josie Eskers and Blanche Blacks. I had
letter today and did some writing. Ott & Fannie are
in New York and had a nice visit with the Byingtons
in Elyria. We spent the evening talking together
and went to bed early. a pleasant day.
