Saturday June 6, 1914

Fair cool all day. Sidney made a rabbit pen, cut some wood in Mallory's woods that he and Floyd White left last winter. Mora and Maud weeded onions at Weatherups a.m. David paid Mora $2.05 for 20 and 1/2 hours work at 10c per hour, did not pay Maud yet. Mora went to Weatherups tonight got 1 qt. milk. Clarence Porter brought their jackets, they forgot in the lot. Hazel Lynch and Vernice Courbat came with Lottie Baum p.m. to deliver the things I ordered off her, namely box tartan tar soap 10c pkg, darning needles 5c, the n.w.comp. she did not bring, someway omitted in her order. Memphis went to mill got corn, Castella to store for vinegar.

Wednesday April 8, 1914

Rained all night and all day until 2:30, then snowed hard rest of the day, a very bad day. Mora and Maud went to school came home to dinner. Iva Courbat let them take her umbrella they did not get wet, but tonight Mora's feet were damp and Mauds sopping wet and cold. I had her and Mora both soak their feet in hot water after supper. Mora went to P.O. but did not get any mail, she got a quart of milk at Mallory's on her way home. Mrs. Claxton was there. Clarance Porter came down this morning and pounded on the door loud enough to raise the dead. Clint wanted Sidney to work in the mill, he did not get home last night so did not go naturally. The water is as high as at any time this spring it has rained so much. There was 2 wild ducks and 4 monstrous wild geese on the pond for 3 or 4 hours this a.m. Sidney reached home at 8:30 p.m very tired and a little wet, still raining.

Sunday Feb. 1st, 1914

Snow'd and blow'd nearly all day but not cold, a little colder toward night and wind still blowing. Sidney went to church alone today, the children did not go thinking there was not time for them as the bell rang at 10 a.m. but that was only a prank of their new janitor Clarance Porter after he had his fires built rang the bell for past-time. I guess The Rev. Carl did not put in an appearance however so they only had sunday school and no preaching.
