May 26, 1894 thru May 27, 1894

If you follow Bert's diary regularly, you can skip this paragraph. I will not be transcribing each entry since most of Bert's diary is pretty clear. You can read the original more easily by clicking on the image above to view a larger version. I will be including this paragraph, or something similar in each entry so that new readers will know they can click the image to enlarge it for easier reading. Also, there will be some links to the right of the page with relevant information that may be of interest. My notes will include the basics of what Bert talks about each day, along with my own personal thoughts, research, information gleaned from past or future entries, etc. If you have information or suggestions that may help my research, please e-mail me ..... especially with input on Bert's coded entries?

Saturday, May 26, 1894 --- Bert reports a nice day with a little rain. Russell plowed all day, and Bert "drawed manure". Bert then went over to visit his brother Herman, and stayed the night.

Sunday, May 27, 1894 --- Bert came back home to help with the chores, got his breakfast, and then went to visit the Hilers. He then went over to Milo Dyes place for dinner - then back home to help with the evening chores. "Rained a little"
