Jennie Woolf was here and said Tishie was sick and her Mother was out there. They got all of Otts things away. He took the last load at six oclock. They moved Otts piano over and brought mine back. I cleaned all the floors up stairs after six oclock. Will finished the road work today. Mr Edwards and Anna went for a visit to Illinois. Thursday August 10th 1893 I got an early start at washing wood-work up stairs. The man came to take Hatties piano over Will went along and brought back my carpet. Mother was over a little while. I got the carpet down in the two big rooms and we carried up Mr Edwards furniture. After supper I sewed some on the carpet for the hall. I was very very tired tonight. Friday August 11th 1893 I got the carpet down in the little north room by eleven oclock. Fanny was over for some things in the morning. Will went to the valley for the day. I went out to Miss Weatherlys and over home for dinner. Ott & Fanny are all settled and the house is lonely. I brought Mother back with me and done some
