Sept 1st 1951
Hester had drive to New Glasgow on 1st for long weekend. Elmer home for long weekend
that she is at rest.
Elmer is home for the Labor Day Holiday and they took her to New Glasgow for a drive. Dear only knows where she will want to go to-morrow. Letters in mail box for me from Elaine Brinton and Marion. Got a very nice present from Prof Patterson and Frances Chaplan, a pitcher and one from Mr Coffin that I love too.
2 S. Made up my plum jam in the morning and went to the funeral of Mrs Toombs in the afternoon. A large funeral. I went home with Winnie and Ernest McNeill and John brought me up after supper. Tired but wrote to Nan.
3 Cloudy and I didn’t wash. Has rained a little since noon and quite dark to-night. Got the back lawn cut and under the big trees. Think the east elm has had some lightning. The leaves are all dead. There was a bad storm last week. Crocheting on my table cloth. Terrible harvest weather and for the potatoes.
4 Fine and I did a big washing. Went back to the hill for blue berries. Flossie Linkletter and Claude and Harold Dennis were here for about two hours. Mr Dennis is Uncle Harrys son and the whole family moved to Port Arthur around forty years ago. Harold is a Minister in Norwood, Manitoba. He wants to spend some time in Cavendish.
Mr Luther Coffin died suddenly in Montague
5 Was a fine day until supper time, then it rained.
