I felt wretched early in the forenoon. Edith came back
from the valley and went over to Will Andersons and later
home with George & Flora. Otts family with Rob Cora Otto
Blanche & Little Robert were here for dinner. Lorie helped
Hattie get a nice dinner. Will did not go home very early as
we had music after dinner. We girls were home all evening.
Friday January 2nd 1914
I felt better today. Edith came back and after dinner. She
came up home with Will to see the place. and then over to
Aunt Libs. Cora has a wretched cold and spent the afternoon
and took supper with us. Her company went at 12:08. Lorie went
to the funeral of a Mr Rice on Bowery St and later to see
Harry Breene about rates to California as she expects to go
about the 10th. Hattie and Fannie were at Aid Society. The
evening we girls spent together except Edith & Hattie down at Otts a little time.
Saturday January 3rd 1914
Cora was not able to be up. I was over there a little while
after LeGrand took Edith to the depot. Hattie & Lorie went too.
Will was down for dinner and LeGrand brought me home in
the Auto four oclock. got some supper and made tatting.
Sunday January 4th 1914
I did not have a good night and we slept late. I did
a little cooking and house work and wrote in this book. I
read in the evening. weather cloudy but not very cold.
