Julia Brumfield Diaries

A rainy day. We are still at Richmond. They expected to have a parade here to day but it rained so they did not have it. There is all sorts of side showes and merry go rounds in the city. We that is Effie Brumfield and all of her children, Cordie Blair & I went to the city.

We went to see Alma Bennett. She is in the best of spirits. They have taken off the cast that they had on her leg. She has a room mate that has a baby. Alma says that she likes her fine. Willie & Jack are away yet.

8 oclock

Cloudy most of the day. Rain this evening. The boys worked on their tobacco most of the day. Ben went to the island for a washing machine.

Mollie Reynols and Julia Fergerson & little daughter come and spent the day. We were glad to have them. Floid come after them this evening.

Today is William Brumfield birth day. I would be glad to see him.

Dr Owen invited me to go fishing. I would of liked to go but it rained so that we could not fish. Hope he will ask me to go a gain.

A good day. I went to Chatham from Lizzies.

Marvin and family come up there. Marvin & Jim Brumfield went to Chatham. Jim staid. I come home with them. Marvin & Carrie, Will and Julia Brumfield & Emily was here when I got home. I dont feel like here is home any more. I may be mean to feel that way but I cant help it. I feel that others think they are so smart that I am a mere nobody.

I was so glad that they come for me so as to trouble no one else. Saturday night June the 18th 1921

A good day. Willie and part of the chldren spent the day with us. Mollie and Christenia and Mildred Fergerson, Reubin & Posie & Bruce Reynolds and Alice Thomson & her children and Mrs. Kent all come to see Willie. I was glad to see them all.

I have not seen Carrie to day. Hope I may see her soon.

A clear day. Ben carried Willie & Bill to Long Island. Josie and Franklin & Mabel went with him.

Jim come home. Henry Blair brought him from Chatham. Lee & Ben cut some of Kate Harveys wheat this evening. Henry and I went with Ben to Renan. Heard this morning that Julia Fergerson has a little daughter born this morning. I am glad. I have not seen Carrie to day. I certainly did want to see her.

Well things dont go like I want them to but I cant help my self. Will try and do the best that I can. That is all I can do.
