Wednesday 14 Oct 1896
Quite a fine day warmer than yesterday.
Thought we were gong to have company
for a skiff rowed directly here from over
the way, which proved to be Mr Gloyd
bringing two women across. They had
great difficulty landing at the consession [sic],
the women went to J Niles and
James Gloyd rowed home again. V drawing
corn and sorting and bagging apples
for Belle and barreling some for himself.
Jess Reid went to Cape Vincent with
their last load of fish for this season
returned quite early. Tomorrow Reid
and Will depart for "Devil Lake" fishing
and hunting. Jesse Reid here this
afternoon and again this evening.
If I should express my mind in
this diary about a certain individual
it would not be a very pleasant
reflection on paper. June pares apples
for drying. Maud at school. Grace sweeps ,
dusts, mops, gets the meals. Irene churns and
prints 29 lbs for market. V retires early & so ends
the day. Painting the church.
