Page 35

Thursday June 1st 1899  Will churned for me before he went  to town this morning.  I was busy with the work all forenoon and sewed a little in the afternoon.  Weather growing very warm. The boys are plowing corn today.  Ott & Fanny married 12 years.  Friday June 2nd 1899  I got an early start to town with the butter. I went over the river awhile and was ready to start home at ten oclock.  I got the dinner and sewed in the afternoon We had a very hard rain about six oclock.  Saturday June 3rd 1899  Charlie H- went away for good this morning.  I was busy sweeping most of the forenoon I did some extra cleaning in the afternoon and sewed a little.  Will fixed the squash patch and Luther is replanting corn.  Weather is growing very warm.  Sunday June 4th 1899 I was busy all forenoon with the work and read rested in the afternoon It looked so much like rain I could not go up after Miss Murphy Newell Elliott came down in the evening to go to work.  I felt the need of all the rest I could get today.
