Went to mass; Fr. Stern had it, but he isn’t so good he was invited to Ruma tomorrow on Pius Simpsons golden Wedd. anniversary, but he couldn’t go, says all he could invite us for his funeral, don’t think he will live to celebrate jubilee. Uncle Fred & Aunt Mary had dinner here, then went home. It rained again all afternoon & nite, it has rained every Sun. since Easter I believe & almost everyday.

Uncle Fred & Aunt Mary came up, him & papa went along with Henry to Evansville, to Simpson’s horse sale, also took John Myerscough’s along; his youngest daughter left for the convent today, can’t come home till Christmas; it rained all afternoon & some real showers I’m telling you! Uncle Fred & Aunt Mary stayed for supper, they didn’t go home staying in Hecker weekend. Rosalia got dress goods from Aunt Mary for birthday & made it this afternoon.
