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

Page 51

Thursday July 13th 1893
I was busy all forenoon with the housework.
In the afternoon I went over home. The girls
went to a society meeting. Robbie brought me
home with Old Pet. It came up a hard
rain just at supper time the folks did not
get back tonight.
Friday July 14th 1893
Will did not work today. It was a very hot
day. Fanny came home at noon. I was up
town in the afternoon to get some things. After
supper I walked over home for a dress. It 
looked so much like rain I hurried right
back. Will brought the dog and come to meet me.
Saturday July 15th 1893
It was much cooler today. I was busy with
the work most of the forenoon. The folks came
over to see the show parade. I was up town
a few moments. Will and I went in the afternoon
and took Rob. It was very good. After supper we
walked over home and spent the evening.
Sunday July 16th 1893
The short forenoon doing housework. I dressed
myself clean and read in the afternoon. Will and 
I walked over home in the evening. Fanny has
not felt well enough to be away from the house.
