Tuesday 30 Jan 1894
Snow piled up very deep this
morning. Voltie wallowed through the
snow this morning to the river for a
pail of water, snow above his knees
and still snowing fast and steady.
So once more the Marysville Ball is
a failure and disapointment, but
V & G do not care. Maud will have to stay
home from school to day and the
turkeys will have to lay in the market
basket till the storm is over and the roads are
plowed. Lill Niles has a quilting party
the PM and V drove with Grace to the
quilting, this party is in honor of Lill's
birth day. Well after V got back from the
quilting we heard Will Gillespie's child is dead.
So they have no evening party at J Niles.
Jim Obrien went for the sprail and stand is the box

Wednesday. A fine bright day, rather cold. Wind W.
Wellie came up to pull the fish net and draw
hay, and then drove to foot to get fish
and I go down to Eveline's on the sleigh
and stay all day. Wellie got 2 sturgeon from
the lower nets, snow on the ice is
very deep as well as every where else
in the evening. V & G & M go to Mission
meeting. V goes home with Lill. Mart comes
home very noisy and smoking around
