Julia Brumfield Diaries

A cloudy day. The boys finished sawing wood by twelve oclock. Cleaned out the stables this evening. Boy Barbers wife was buried this evening. No one from here did not go to the burial. Nellie got dinner. Then sewed on her quilt. I cut up the stair way carpet and will make rugs of it. Lelia sent the clothes home by John. They were done very good. The children went to school. Edna got a letter from Aunt Ella today. Mabel has been very good for her. Tonight she was running after a wheel and hurt her self. Did not any supper.[sic]

A good day. Ben was at Renan all day judge of electon. Jim went and voted. Irvin come for me. I went and voted. Then went to see Kate. She is very feeble yet. I hope she may get well. I met Mr. [Duepney?] for the first time. He is a nice looking man. Nellie got dinner for the crowd that was here. 21 of us. Edna begged Nellie to make batter bread for supper. It was very nice. Ben got home for supper. [Clement?] was ahead at Renan.
