Fanny was over the river After dinner she took me over to visit with Dentons folks. and she brought me back about four oclock. She and Ott stayed over thee toll after supper. I worked on my tidy in the evening. Saturday May 20th 1893 I got the breakfast alone while Josie ironed. I nearly finished the ironing while she did up the work.
