Journal: Jeanette Sperry

1895 (Thursday) – I got up and churned before breakfast and then went down to Bartonville to Sunday School. In the afternoon, I went up to Perkin’s for a swing. About six o’clock, Ada (Ada Haydee Salisbury) and I came down to our place, and later Ada and I and Esther (Emily Esther Sperry) and the baby (Ruth Sperry) went back up to Perkin’s and had a lovely swing. (In later years I heard how the boys hated to see us come there, as they were so tired after working in the field, they wanted to rest, I felt quite embarrassed when I heard about it.) How selfish we can be and never realize it.
