Drew off 30 bu(shels) of potatoes.
(Aged 19)
Wea. FRI. JAN. 18, 1901 Ther.

(Aged 20)
Wea. SAT. JAN. 18, 1902 Ther.
Took Alice home. Ray drew 1 1/4 ton of hay. Glen was down.
(Aged 21)
Wea. SUN. JAN. 18, 1903 Ther.
Stayed at home all day and read. It was very stormy. Grandma came over to dinner.
(Aged 22)
Wea. MON. JAN. 18, 1904 Ther.
Stayed at home all day.
Editor's Note: Alas poor Clara Longquist. One would think she was some middle-aged man eater. Maybe even a widow looking to snare herself a nice shiny new husband. However, census records suggest she is just 3 years older than Allen. What a difference a century makes. (sound of cougar growl here).
The Lincoln Club is presumably a political organization as it is today. But I don't know who S.B. is. It seems likely to be a girl because he is being so coy about naming a name.

| Somehow this was a nicer image to use than antique false teeth. Trust me. |
