Ther. 74 TUES. JULY 19^th, 1898 Wind Variable
I walked to Ashton & back
before lunch time. Afternoon
Edwd came home from
"Fairfield". We had quite a severe
thunder gust & rain, about
3-30 this p.m. the electricity
came into the house over
Edwd's wires, but did no harm
that we are aware of. Mary
E. Gilpin was here to see sister
Harriet. I was at the P.O. during
most of the thunder storm.
And went to the toll house in
the evening.

Edwd took his aunt Harriet
in the buggy to "Eldere" & "Riverside"
before dinner. I went
to the store twice. Afternoon

remained until after supper.
Fanny Kirk & Beatrix Tyson
called. Edwd & sister H came
back before Millie & cousin
Sophie came. After supper
we had quite a heavy thunder
storm passed around north
of us, so near as to bearly miss
us, giving us plenty of thunder
& lightening & a sprinkle of rain.
