1897 – After I wrote in my journal on the fourth, Oscar (Alfred Oscar Lunt) came down after dark the folks came home and brought Della Kendall with them, later Oscar and I went up town. I went in his brother George’s (George William Lunt) home and waited until he unhitched the horse, then we went up to Grandma Sperry’s (Emily Louisa Miller). We sat out on the lawn a while then he went home. I slept to Grandma Sperry’s. Monday I walked out home. Della Kendall spent the day here and we made some ice cream and had a nice time.
