Julia Brumfield Diaries

A cool windy day.

Josie washed some this morning and scrubbed the kitchen floor this evening.

Ben and Owen and Marvin and William built fire boxes in the barn to day.

Tonight a dog passed and in a few minutes Tom Edmons and several other men come and said that the dog was mad.

Some one killed him over near Renan.

8 oclock

A good day. Ben and Owen plowed some.

Josie ironed.

I got dinner. Had turnip salet for dinner the last that we will get this spring I expect.

We heard that the Edmons boys killed their dogs this morning.

I know they was sorry to have it to do.

I wrote to John Brumfield to day.

9 oclock

A good day. The men folk worked on tobacco most of the day.

Mr. Owen killed his dog to day. Though he was mad.

Josie got dinner. I worked a little.

Reese Smith & Henry and I went to Whitefalls. We drove Jake, Bens colte. Wel I am so near a sleep that I cant write.
