Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. I was at Jo Towler this morning. Sister Mary and I went to Letchers and eat dinner then went to see Lottie Craddock. Did not see Earnest.

They have two nice little children. Irvins wife and baby come to Earnest. I was glad to see them. I eat supper at Letchers then he brought me to Tim Bennetts. I am glad to be at Tims tonight.

A clear hot day. Lonnie & Earl tried to cut wheat today but the binder would not work. Gordon and Frances eat supper with home folks to night. Lonnie and Earl are in the hayfield now, nine oclock at night.

Earl saw Oscar Brumfield going to Chatham this evening for repairs for the binder. I do hope that they got them.

Well I would like to be at home tonight. Every one is as kind to me as they can be but I have bin gone long enough for this time.

A good day. Jim & Ben finished cutting oats and went to night after supper to cap them. They hope that it will rain by morning. They got up some rye this evening. Josie went to see Julia Fergerson & her baby this morning.

Carrie & all of her children and I went to see Julia this evening. They had a lot of company. Grace Brumfield & Sallie Blair, Kate Harvey, Alice Thomson and all of her children and I went to Mollies but I did hear any news of importance.

A good morning. Rain this evening. Ben & Jim helped Marvin get up some hay then Marvins folks helped thin corn until they finished.

Josie got dinner. I picked a few black berries. I caned a half gallon & had all they would eat for dinner and supper. I sowed some on a quilt this evening. I slept a long nap after dinner. Something I dont often do.

Well we are all glad of the good rain that come this evening.

John has come to night. I am glad.

A good hot day. I was at Faber Jeffersons in Charloot County. The Bennett boys went to the red house to a base ball. Lizzie and Ola and I did not go. Alma went this evening. We started from the red house a bout 5 oclock. I got home a bout sundown.
