Saturday, October 24, 1868

This has been a cloudy, windy day, but not so very cold. We moped and baked this forenoon, and in the afternoon Melia and I went down town and got paper to paper the front rooms. We got it to Mr. Arms. We got 7 rolls. They were 35¢ apiece, double rolls.

Rob has been to John Mendham’s, husking. Will and Pa have been packing stones. Rob came home to night and brought a letter from Add.

Sunday, October 25, 1868

This has been a very warm day, and smoky. I guess it is the first day of Indian summer.

We did not go to Church this morning. Maria came up about noon, and staid till night, and then went back.

Billy went up to John Menham’s to night. He is going to husk corn there this week. He took his pistol this morning to Isaiah Stevens.

Rob went to church at commerce this evening.

Monday, October 26, 1868

This has been another nice Indian summer day. We washed a large wash this forenoon, and this afternoon I finished Clara’s new dress, and Melia fixed an old one of hers over.

David was here a few minutes this afternoon. Rob has been helping him to day.

Pa went to the village this forenoon to pay for his corn sheller.
