June 1, 1894 thru June 2, 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?

Friday, June 1, 1894 --- Another rainy day - quite a stretch of rainy days. Another day of watching it rain. In the afternoon Russell and Bert hauled some fence posts, and went over to Milo Dye's place to pick stone off a field. Chores morning and evening as always.

Saturday, June 2, 1894 --- Another rainy day, with chores. Bert fixed his harness, and "sewed a line" for Russell. Bert went over to his brother Herman's place to spend the night.
