After breakfast Dick did not want to churn but said if I would he would go and mow away hay. This bargain was soon settled and I churned for about half an hour and got a nice lot of butter. The cream was good and cool as it had been down the well all night. | After breakfast Dick did not want to churn but said if I would he would go and mow away hay.

Tuesday July 4th
Daddy had much difficulty in getting me out of bed this morning for he waked me once and I went to sleep and dreampt I got up but at last I did a rouse.
After breakfast Dick did not want to churn but said if I would he would go and mow away hay. This bargain was soon settled and I churned for about half an hour and got a nice lot of butter. The cream was good and cool as it had been down the well all night.
Huby came over about the time I finished churning and we all went out to the field for a load of hay. We worked the same as yesterday. The first load (40 cocks) we took over to Mrs. Arthur Battersbys where we had a nice warm time. The next forty one cocks went to John Quanbury's loft which was about twice as hot as Mrs. Battersby's. We got home from there about noon.
Lila thought she would go home with Huby this after noon to have a swim. She thought she might come back about Thursday.
After dinner we went and got another load on for John. We got over all right but as we were going to back up in front of the door we went down a little grade when Huby yelled to me to look out I looked and saw the load a t about 80 from the perpendicular. The next thing I knew I was vaulting out of the hay but not a bit hurt. Huby was crawling out beside me and remarking that Bill was killed. Then I heard Bill say "No I aint." and saw him making hus way out. We three were the only ones on the load
