Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. Jim stayed here and worked on a plant bed & shucked some corn. Josie got dinner and kept Mabel. Ben and I went to see Lonnie Bennett. He is very sick yet but better than he was a while back. I hope he may get well a gain. Ben and I come by Gretna and went to Marvin Smiths a while. I was glad to see them. Did not see Marvin. He was burning a plant bed. The children went to school. Franklin went today.

A good day. We all staid at home today. Mabel is sick yet. We heard from Lonnie and Cordie today they are getting on very well at this time. We had fried chicken and ice cream for dinner.

We had a surprise this evening. Marvin & Carrie and four of the children and John Brumfield come. We all was so glad to see them.

I am so sorrie that Mabel is sick and we don't know what to do for her.

Hugh Brumfield staid at Marvins last night
