Wea. SUN. MAY 3, 1903 Ther.
Came home from Andrew’s. Pearle came home with us.
Editor's Note: High hole? And, "we" shot a rabbit? More like one of the Warn boys did but it seems like a good time was had by all. Just what pictures did they take though? I wish we had them. I think. I mean boys will always be boys...I do have a copy of a very dirty poem that I once thought was written out by Allen but now that I know his "voice" and handwriting, I realize he was only the owner of the copy and not the transcriber. Diana and I have debated how to share it. Perhaps we'll find a way yet.
I can only assume Andrew in Blockville is Alice's dad Andrew Warn but I have no idea what he is doing there. I do think after Alice marries, he and Hattie move to Jamestown but don't know why he'd go from Carroll to Blockville.
How did Allen play football with a crutch to begin with? Absolutely amazing.
