Julia Brumfield Diaries

A rainy morning. Soon cleared up and the wind blowed the rest of the day and it is colde tonight. Guess there will be frost in the morning.

Kate Harvey & Pearl Wiginton come to see us a while this evening. Ben carried them home. He was going to Renan if they had not come. Josie went to Reynols's to see Clifton and Jane. She never will for get them. They were kind to her when she was in the hospital.

Ben & Josie, Henry and Edna went to the school house to night to play or something of the sort.

Come home colde. I staid with Franklin & Mabel.

A beautiful day. No sign of rain. Jim & Marvin moved some tobacco this morning. Ben went to Chalk Level to get some peices sawed to make a roller to roll their wheat land. They worked on the roller all evening and did not finish it. Josie sewed some on a dress for Edna.

I went to Marvins this evening. They are getting on very well there. Tonight Marvin & Ben has gone hunting.

We heard this morning that Mr Taz Wooding died last night. Will be buried tomorrow.

A cool windy day. Ben & Jim stripped some tobacco this morning. This evening they killed a calf that we called Billie Sunday. We had a wind storm last night and a little rain. Not enough to do any good. We need rain as bad as I ever have seen I think.

Josie has bin bad off all day with her jaws and throat. I do hope she may be better soon. She made Edna a negro doll this evening. I went to Denias this evening. Found them all well. I have not seen Carrie today. Hope she is getting on ok.

A clear warm day. Not a cloud in sight. The wind is blowing tonight. Jim helped Marvin today. Ben did not. Josie has bin bad off all day. She is not suffering so bad tonight. I hope she will soon be up a gain. Mrs Edmons & Grace Brumfield and Kate Harvey come to see her today. Ben went for Mrs Car this morning. She was gone to Lynchburg. He has gone there after her. They have not got here yet. I am sorry that the wind is blowing so hard. I have not bin to Marvins this week. Hope Josie may be well enough that I can go soon. Henry & Edna went to school to day. Mabel has bin good for her.

I started Alma Bennett a letter today. Would be glad to hear from Willies folks.

A rainy day. The land is good and wet the first time in about five months. I hope it will quit raining for this time soon. Jim & Ben stripped tobacco all day. Marvin went to Gretna to meet some one. A Mr Shelton went with him. I know that they had a rough time.

I went to George Blairs. Lottie is there with her two little children & Net with one. They are good looking children.
