Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1899-June 30, 1902

Page 259

Sunday March 25th 1902
It was a pleasant morning and I was busy about the
work and read a little. John & Hatt were here a few
moments in the afternoon. I went down to church after
they were gone. Mollie came back at night and told
us about Johns wedding yesterday to a sister of Allie 
Ott at Riverdale. I read all the evening.
Monday March 24th 1902
Terry churned for me early. Will and him went down
to Woolfs for some cattle he had bought. I washed
some and in the afternoon went to town. I stopped
at home with butter for the folks, was at Woolf a few moments.
Tuesday March 25th 1902
I did my ironing this morning. Will went to town
and brought Mother out. It was a nice day. We had
a good visit and Mollie took her home after school.
Will sold Bird mare to Mr Franklin this afternoon.
Wednesday March 26th 1902
Will went down town this morning. I had baking 
on hand and was sewing on a shirt I am making 
out of an old cloak Mother gave me.
The weather was not so pleasant today. There was
a cold ugly wind blowing.
