Page 172

Tuesday March 31st 1914
It was a cloudy day. Will went to town in the morning and
stopped to see Mary who is not well as he came home. It rained
in afternoon. We went down at 5:15 to meet Rob & Cora at the
store and go with them to The S U I dinner at The Armory. It was
very nice. After that we went to Picture shows and did not get
home till 10:40. It was foggy but did not rain any more.
Wednesday April 1st 1914
Was busy all forenoon. Went to town at 2:15 and to the Church
to the Annual meeting to give in the dollar earned by making
tatting for Mrs Teeters. Was up to Breenes office again.
Thursday April 2nd 1914
The house work was not very much and I was sewing all day on
a waist-like a blue & white strip shirt I have. Hattie tells me
Joe Williams came last night. I read a library book in the evening.
Friday April 3rd 1914
Brother Rob would have been 60 years of today. I did the
work and sewed on my waist. I went to town at 4:15 coming
back at 5:30. My teeth hurt me so I can hardly wear them at all.
Saturday April 4th 1914
I ironed a lot of things we washed yesterday and went down to town
at 10:15. Will gone an an hour before. I stopped at Fannies to see
Aunt Anna Bremmer and at Mrs Teeters as she is home from
The hospital. Then on to Coras. I read a letter there from
Marjorie Hartsock telling of her mothers death last Sunday.
She was buried Tuesday. Will came over to dinner. I then went over
to see Joe Williams. At four oclock LeGrand brought us all to town
in the Auto. I was at Breenes office and home at 5:30.
Rob out for Breakfast.
