May 14 & 15, 1918


Tues. Beautiful day after storms.

Rec’d letters from Cora Watson Derick & Edna J. Bedell. Wrote to Don, Kate, & Lottie. These are Clandine and Catharine Bedell.

Bought this little tag today. The Children at school are selling them for the Red Cross. Helped Flora tonight.

Wed. May 15
A beautiful day. After school Catherine Goodrich, Donald & I walked to see the big land slide on the Sage farm. A piece of an oat field along the river broke off & went to the river below. The piece was about 1000 ft long and 12 to 15 wide. It carried trees & bushes with it. The abutment of the D. & H. R.R. Bridge were moved 5 miles. Mrs. Storm sent mother a bouquet of purple lilacs. To-night I met Georganna at the Movies. The play was splendid.

Notes: Mrs. Storm is likely Ada Storm, wife of Jacob Storm of Sidney.
