Got up at 7.10. Pa took a grist to the burg. Ma, Rollie + I went to Jamestown. Rollie + I had our pictures taken. Rained all day in P.M. it turned to snow. The wind blew the roof off the barn down on the Webster place + it fell in on a cow + hurt her. Don’t know whether she will live or not.
While we were at town the water rose and was about 2 ft over the road when we came home.
(Aged 18)
Wea. SUN. JAN. 14, 1900 Ther.
Went to S. S. (Sunday School) at Ivory. Took a bath. Sent a letter down to Mattie Cowan telling her I would not be down.
(Aged 19)
Wea. MON. JAN. 14, 1901 Ther.
I took Pa to Falconer where he met the doctor. Had to bring sleigh. Came home about 2 P.M. and did the chores.
(Aged 20)
Wea. TUE. JAN. 14, 1902 Ther.
Drew out manure and went to factory. Leon Page stayed all night with us last night. I went to the Burg and got a horse shod.
(Aged 21)
Wea. WED. JAN. 14, 1903 Ther.
Pa + I went to Jamestown. I went up to see Mr. Miller (?) again for Kerler Raleigh Company. I did not take the job.
We contracted our pigs at Falconer. Worked in Joel’s mill after I got home.
(Aged 22)
Wea. THUR. JAN. 14, 1904 Ther.
Stayed at home all day. In eve Alice + I went to the Odd Fellows Banquet given in their hall.
Editor's Note: Could they be any cuter? Really, that photo is one of my very favorites. I love how they care about each other despite the 10 years between them. I don't know why there is such a difference in age. I don't know of any losses to the family but perhaps Nora just had a hard time conceiving.
Also love the wording "helped Percy Johnson a long a little..."
And it is curtains for Mattie Cowan's hopes and dreams of keeping her monogram through the Cass route. Alice is firmly in Allen's heart.
