April SUNDAY 14 1895

Went out to church this morning takeing my mother with me. Bro Cookman was our minister & as usual gave us a good discourse. Did not realy enjoy the service as much as I should like, owing mostly to a drowsiness that came over me during the meeting. We are thankful to see the roads geting good again.

April MONDAY 15 1895

Maggie and I started for Wyecombe this morning as soon as we could get ready. Got to Simcoe at about noon. Got to Mr Fergusons at about four this afternoon. Found Mr & Mrs Ferguson away from home, but we were fortunate enough to find some provisions to satisfy our hunger. Had tea at Mr Manerys afterwards. I came home to night after Seven 0'clock.
