Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1893-May 31, 1894

Page 28

Wednesday April 19th 1893
I was busy all forenoon doing baking in my new
stove. My bread was very nice. I think it a great
success and Will went to the Dental Clinic to get a tooth fixed.
It was a rainy disagreeable afternoon.
Fanny was at home all day.
Thursday April 20th 1893
It snowed nearly all day. I was busy all forenoon
with getting the dinner and cleaning out the
dining room closet. After dinner Will got some
soft coal and we were experimenting with the
furnace in the afternoon. It did good work.
Friday April 21st 1893
It snowed all the forenoon. I was busy with
the work and in the afternoon Fanny and I went
up town to get us a hat. It was late when we
got home and I was chilled through. We spent
the evening at home. We were invited over to
Robinson but could not go.
Saturday April 22nd 1893
I went up town early this morning and got my hat
it was not trimmed right and us girls took it
back in the afternoon. Hattie was here in the
morning. We spent the evening at home.
