Monday, May 8, 1922 After doing chores in the morning I went to town at 10 a.m. and attended to some business such as paying interest on the Pinnacle Mortgage, Doctor's bill at Holmes & Co. and while waiting for the 8:40 car I went over to the Court House to hear the Truelove Case. The day was fine.

Wednesday, May 10, 1922 Mabel and I went down to Mr. E. Crawford’s, and took home her fence stretcher and then went down to the Marsh pasture. After coming home, I worked at fixing the path to the road. The day was very fine. Two men from the Church were here in the evening.
