61. 1914

Sunday 1st of March A cloudy day, not extremely cold. Rev Stuart here this a.m. John helping Voltie barrel apples for market. Emma cooking cabbage for dinner. A miserable storm raging towards night. John goes over to Rachels after dark through the storm with a lantern to see how she is. I caught another cold. I took two quinine capsuls and a half teaspoon of Eclectric oil which made me very sick all night

Monday 2nd March 1914 The storm continues snowing blowing and drifting. V & J does chores and put up 112 sections of honey for market, puttied glass in veranda windows. John went over to R's to do her chores. I guess they thought J & V that I had a fit or something only I was so soundly sleeping they couldnt awaken me very easily. Well the stormy day has passed on, gone with the rest of eternity.

Tuesday 3rd March 1914 A beautiful day, sun bright and warm V & J drew six loads of manure that is all they done except to eat breakfast, dinner and supper & smoke and "chaw". not a letter nor a card nothing except Standard &c Charley Woodman sick had the doctor
