Wednesday 4th Nov 1908

Wind changed in night to N.W. and
made things rattle for a while. Colder
this morning, froze quite hard this morning.
After morning Voltie hitched up and drove
to Charlies; they are moving to day a
bee to draw their household goods to
the villiage where they will be put aboard
of the Wolfe Islander together with the
family enroute for Clayton and then
for their new home with V. our telephone
line broken in the night by strong wind.
Grandpa Wells fixed it; he does so many
things shingles the barn, draws the manure,
plows the potatoes ground, milks the cows.
It snowed some to day. Thermometer
down to 28. Maude made pumpkin pies
and pudding. I made Chow Chow
all but vinegar got to wait till Voltie
comes to draw it out the keg. Whew how
the North wind blown. Three storm
windows up only. Stella went to Morgan's
where she met her beau's sister, Miss Maud Murphy.
V came at sunset bringing Grace H & a load of stuff
together with one cat & one dog. Voltie drove to the villiage
and saw them and their goods safely aboard the Islander.
V went down to get Frank to help unload the box of canned
fruit. Found Frank and Emma gone to Will Michea
wedding reception and Gm in charge of the kids.
