Clear
Ther. 10° Saturday FEB. 24^th 1894 N.W. Wind

Clear & cold this am: an old fashioned
bright winter-day. Afternoon Bro. Chas. &
his son "Fred" called here for a short time
"John" also called about dusk. Edwd went
to "Sherwood" early this morning & again
this evening before dark to see after
the fires. He has made a "micro phone"
which he connected with his battery cells
and which transmits sound with startling
accuracy: the ticking of a watch can be
heard (almost any distance), as distinctly
as if held against your ear. H. rec'd a
nice letter from Dora in Philad'^a she
is well, and seems to be having a very
pleasant visit. After supper E. went over
next door to study his algebra lesson with
Bessie Robison.

Cloudy
Ther. 8° Sunday 25^th N.E. Wind

Real winter weather at last, last
night was the coldest I have felt this
winter. It commenced snowing from the
N.E. about noon, & looks & feels as if it would
make sleighing this time "sure enough"
It continued snowing with increasing
violence all the afternoon and evening
should it continue with the wind blowing
as it is at bedtime, it will make deep
drifts before tomorrow morning
Edwd went to "Sherwood" towards evening
to make up his fires, but had poor luck
and must go again early tomorrow morning
the furnace fire is all right, but
the other two (in stoves) are not.

Cloudy
Ther. 35° Monday FEB. 26^th, 1894 N.E. & N.W. High Wind

Last night was a terribly stormy one, the
wind blew with great violence and the
snow changed to rain before midnight.
This morning the ^slush & half melted snow
is from 4 inches to a foot deep. E. went to
"Sherwood" early to make the fires. One of
Levi Hopkin's daughers was here with tooth
ache. Afternoon (after) school E. got a pair
of gum boots at S.S. having first ridden
"Frank" to Ashton to get them but they had
none the right size there. the price was
$3.30. I "waded" up to the mill & Hendersons
for the papers. After supper E. went to the
Lyceum as "door-keeper" to an entertainment
an amateure "play" a "satire on
women's rights"

Cloudy & Clearing
Ther. 31° Tuesday 27^th N.W. Wind

It was cold enough to freeze
the slush somewhat last night &
it is not quite as bad traveling as
it was yesterday. I walked up to
the store & toll house & borrowed
some nut coal from the toll house.
Guiow Miller buried his only remaining
child this p.m. it being
the second within a week that
died from diptheria.
