Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. Ben has not done any work today. Staid around with Mr Hobson. Josie and I got dinner. This evening Marvin and family went to Strait Stone. I went with them. We fished a while. Did not catch anything worth anything. Josie got supper. I attended to the chickens and cow.

A good day. We all staid at home all day. Mrs Car & Mr Hobson is here yet. We cooked turnip salit and fried two chickens for dinner. No one come to see us.

Don't know any thing to write. I talked with Grace Brumfield to night. Did not hear anything new worth writing. Elsie was to see them today. Jack Harvey is at home to night.

A beautiful day. Ben worked on his car most of the day. This evening he carried me to Strait Stone Creek and the store. We come back by Renan. We met with Clifton and Jane Reynols. I was glad to see them.

Jim went to Chatham. Marvin went to Altavista to day. He had his teeth worked on.

Henry went to Uncle Johnsons this morning. He got some guina eggs. I put them under a hen to night. I hope that they may hatch.

Ben carried my calf Peggy to Marvins pasture to day.

A good day. Ben & Jim worked on their tobacco land all day. Josie scrubed floors and got dinner. Kate Harvey & Carrie Smith come to see us this evening. I was not at home. Reese Smith carried Grace Brumfield and I to Mr Worshams pond. We fished. Caught a few. Had a pleasant day. Come by Renan. Clack Hubbards baby was sick. Dr Owen was gone to Chatham.

Ben did not like for Henry to go with me. Said he wanted him to work. I am sorry to ever do any thing that makes him mad. An old hen killed one of Josies turkeys. I am very sorry that it happen.

A good day. The boys planted corn all day. Henry done the planting. Jim layed off the rows. Josie ironed all the morning. I worked over my chicken coops. Helped get a snack for dinner.

I went to Marvins. I worked a few button holes.

Josie went to Renan store. She bought some fish. Cooked them for supper. They were fine.

The cow got in the garden. Did not do much damage.
