Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. Clouds about this evening but no rain to wet any thing. Ben replanted tobacco. He went to Renan and got some beef for tomorrows dinner. Josie killed and dressed three chickens, baked two cakes, got dinner, and bathed the children.

I went to Worshams pond to fish. Marvin carried me and Henry & Reese. He went to Altavista and had work done on his teeth worked on. I stoped at Mr Jim Bookers and sit on the porch with Mrs Booker until Marvin come for us.

I have felt all day that I was not doing right but I hope I may be forgiven. I no longer boss things at our house.

A good day. Jim & Ben worked on a roller until twelve. Ben & Josie went to Altavista this evening. Josie had three teeth pulled. She come home sick. Has bin inbed ever since. Hope she may be better by morning. Marvin went to Mr Taz Woodings burial this evening. I kept Mabel this evening. She was very good for her.

The children went to school. Come home with their Dady when he come from Altavista.

A clear warm day & dry day. We staid at home until after dinner. Henry went with Reese to take Martha Miller home. They got back early in the evening. Henry went without his dinner.

Josie has bin suffering with her jaw all day. Ben & her went to see the doctor late this evening. He worked on it some and she is feeling some better to night.

Christenia Brumfield has bin sick all day.
