A Day in the Life: May 20th

Stayed at home all day. In eve Alice + I took a drive around through Kennedy and Falconer got home at 1:30 A.M.
(Aged 19)

(Aged 20)
Wea. TUE. MAY 20, 1902 Ther.
Alice + I went to Jamestown. I had the mortgage of F. Kineston, Jr. recorded. Got me a light suit of clothes. $6.94. Gave Alice $5. I spent $8.23
Big Red Gib cow came in--heifer calf.
(Aged 21)
Wea. WED. MAY 20, 1903 Ther.
Dragged corn ground + finished drilling had about 11 acres. Erve went to Corydon to get his brother.
Editor's Note: It seems to be a good day for buying suits of clothes. I wonder if their were sales in May? It also looks like Allen's hunting has improved.
I find it odd we don't hear more about Aunt Addie. She is Frank's sister and also married to an Eccles brother. Only one of her children survives though so maybe she finds it hard to be around her sister Mary (May) and brother-in-law Gib because they are so fertile.
By now, you know how I love to speculate and suppose.
