We finished digging our potatoes this morning, it was nice & cool. Joe Schilling started thrashing his wheat today. Ed Wittenauer’s is also thrashing wheat. Uncle Fred & Aunt Mary where up this afternoon, they sold there onions, 90¢ a bu. they had 3 bus., sold them to Braun’s. We got a letter from Burkhardt, receiver of Hecker Bank, a check for $9.75, paying out 15¢ [possibly mean percent] now, to everybody. Emery Kreher’s baby died, 10 mos. old & was buried at Paderborn. In today’s paper was that 500 people died at Chicago. It is clouding up again, for rain, & it came. Rosalia got some ice cream this evening, it sure was good.

Uncle Fred & Aunt Mary where up again today for lunch, dinner. They finished digging potatoes, Papa & Bertille helped. Rosalia finished her dress & one for Bertille. Kuhn’s is thrashing by Meng’s today, he has been thrashing for 3 day all ready & ain’t finished yet, he can’t get the help no more now. Rosalia & Bertille went out to Henry’s this afternoon to get a hair cut. Clarence Wittenauer was also there, he hauled a load of coal for him. Tonight Ed. Parker’s are having another Public Barn Dance, but the weather looked bad, then it turned out to be right nice anyway, we didn’t go. He just came even up. The musci [sic] was strangers, Myers Bros.
