10 am Sunday

A dirty rainy day. Sr and Voltie go to the
funeral; no body came from over the river, crossing
must be very bad. There was not so great an attendance at
grandpa Geo Woodman's funeral as would have been had the weather
been favorable. Rev Mr Morehouse preached the service.
Rev Mr Roadhouse was present and said something also.
Mr Dignam Sr came home with V & Sr and had a glass of cider
and ate dinner with us. As it is a fast day he would eat no
meat. V fried eggs and he ate three. They were fried in meat
gravy; The gravy for potatoes was made with fried meat
drippings, the beans were cooked with pork, and he didnt know
how much beef there was in his mince pie but when done
eating he said "I thank God I`ve had a good dinner". He
had no breakfast this morning, he stoped a couple of houses
and visited with us and then buttoning close his over coat he
went home, (walking) with umbrella unfurled over his [illegible]
