Dad. went down as soon as he could get ready and was down nearly all day helping Huby & Quint make arrangements. He was pretty tired to-night as he said he was on his feet nearly all day and he, Quint & Huby walked home from the cemetery, they went up on the one o'clock car. He said Aunty Maude hadn't suffered a particle at the last but just slept away. Frank went down right after breakfast and got Pickford's engine & saw. Pickford & Arthur came back with him and we sawed the pile up easily before dinner. It looked a little rainy so Pickford wouldn't stay for dinner. This after noon Frank hauled the last load of wheat down and then went down in the buggy and got a bag of flour. Cloudy to-day and raining hard to-night.
