Beautiful day. Afternoon
I drove to Caleb Pumphrey's Jr:
& to Danl Bank's & down to
Jehu Bowen's. Martha A Wright
was here for advice & medicine
Willie took "Fritz" & the "spring-
wagon" and went over to Caleb
Pumphrey's lot (on Horace
Sedgwick place) for some corn
( 1. Barrel). Andrew Johnson
was here for advice etc.
Willie rode the mare down
to "Ednor" to see Geo Gibson
& Eugine Leizear he saw the
former who paid him $2.00
but the latter was not at home.
After supper Willie rode down
to Ashton to Mrs: Abell's for my
new pantaloons, and to pay her
for making both pair, his & mine
but they were not done: he then
went up to S.S. and bought some
dried beef. I made a coal fire
in the parlor for the first time this
fall, hoping ot keep it going all night.

OCTOBER, SUNDAY 16^th 1887.

Heavy frost this morning
the first we have seen that
amounted to anything. I
felt unusually "stiff" and
rheumatic when I first got
out of bed. After breakfast
I drove down to Jehu Bowen's
W. going with me. Russell Stabler
called here to see W
early this morning. Bro R
called. Chas: Howard (from
"Johnny" Thoma's) brought little
girl (Carrie Howar) for advice
& med: Willie & I drove
over to Riverside & dined there
meeting Ernest & Minnie, and
Miss Georgie Rust, who were
spending the day there. Mrs:
Robison (from next door) being
alone, came in & took tea with
us. Danl Budds son called
& requested me to drive over
tomorrow morning to prescribe
for his little brother.
