(May 91) Real nice day but windy. Bertie Marko went to town yester morning and at recess today she came in after Lena because Lou wanted to see her as she and the McGrady family were going to spend the evening with the Marko’s.  Lottie or Laura Wiltman went to Symmes.  Dubrock was here. Otto was here after supper.  Ma is making my new dress.  She spent all the afternoon at Symmes. Mag Ryan was over.  Miss Kerr got a sad letter.  It was pos- tal telling her that Normal will begin the 25th of May and our school will close the 22nd.

Pa came home at noon and we stayed and footed it home at about five. Mrs. Hoecker had Aug- ust and Johnnie’s picture’s taken. I missed school but the rest went and Miss Kerr sent Anna and Mabel to Sargent’s to tell them “hello” for her. Wed, 30 Mar 2005 0:00:01 GMT May 6, 1891 - Heavy Frost http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=D512723&entry=10018 Wed. 6 A winter day the whole way through. A terrible, heavy frost fell last night and ruined all the tender plants of the gardens such as beans, tomatoes, etc. A great mystery has been dis- covered by Alvin Wicker which is a certain warrant for getting the spelling lesson perfect. - Three more hens taken to the nest – eleven in all - eighteen young chickens. Mabel and Anna went to Symmes before school as they were requested by Mrs. Clark Mrs. Symmes was here. The hedge is hoed. We have sixty (60) acres of corn planted and some up.
