Wednesday November 22nd 1893
It was late when we got up. I was busy about
the house in the forenoon. We had an early dinner
and Will went for wood. I went over to the church,
got home at four oclock. Mary & Jennie Woolf
were here awhile. I got supper over and read and
wrote in the evening. weather cold and wintry.
Thursday November 23rd 1893
I went up town after I got the morning work done
up. Edith was here for dinner. I went over home
in the afternoon. Robbie brought me home. It was
a cold windy day. Will brought a load of wood
from the valley in the forenoon. Evening at home.
Friday November 24th 1893
It was still quite cold. After I finished the
morning work I walked over to Mary Woolfs. Will
came for dinner after making a load from the
valley. He brought the horse & buggy for me to
ride home. I called at Mrs [Mains?] before supper
and went with her to the Missionary meeting in
the evening.
Saturday November 25th 1893
I was busy with my work most of forenoon. Went up
town. Will got a load of wood from the valley. I
spent the afternoon and evening at home doing
some sewing and working on lace for pillow cases..
