Julia Brumfield Diaries

A clear dry day. Jim finished cutting a cureing of tobacco this morning and hauled some wood.

Josie the most of the day. This evening she gathered some snaps and strung them.

I went to White Falls. Reese carried me & Paul & Roy. I think they had a good time batheing. Kate Harvey come & Mollie & Johnson come a while. I caught several fish. I peiced one block for my quilt.

Another hot dry day. Ben finished cutting his tobacco and finished Jims. Josie sewed. Made waists for Franklin.

I got what dinner we had. This evening I worked button holes in Pauls waists.

Josie and I and the children went to Marvins. Carrie was sewing. She has done more sewing than any one that I know of.

I want to see Kate bad. I intend to go to see her soon if I can get to any way.

Another hot day. The men folks helped Marvin finish cutting tobacco. Reese carried Henry & Paul and Roy and I to White Falls. I caught several fish. Had a good evening.

Henry Blair eat dinner at Marvins. Carrie said she was glad to have him with them.

Josie ironed the most of the day. I am so sorry that we cant get any help. I am getting olde and cant do very much and dont do what I might. I am sonigh a sleep that I cant hardly write.

A beautiful day. Ben fixed up the wood saw and with Henrys help sawed some wood.

This evening Ben & family went to Jim Powers. They carried Mrs Car home. I went to Marvin Smiths. Reese Smith carried me to White Falls. Paul & Roy went with us. I fished and caught several fish. We stopped at Renan. There was several men there. Lee Brumfield was there. Kate Hubbard & Virginia Harvey and Little Clack was there. I am always glad to see any of the grand children. Martha Miller (col) tied tobacco for Marvin so that Reese could go with me fishing. I know I am a bother some times but it wont last long.
