1897 (Friday) – In the evening I walked up town. Called at Grandmother Sperry’s (Emily Louisa Miller). Mrs. Burton (Frances Haddy Betenson), Della Kendall (Adella Kendall) and Esther (Emily Esther Sperry) came down to Grandmothers. They, with Mother (Caroline Webb) and I went to an entertainment in the schoolhouse. Esther took part, she gave Mrs. Caudle’s Umbrella Lecture. After the program we went over to the dance. Zoa Christensen and I went with Lilly Christensen and Lon Andrews, Esther and Della Kendall went with Jennie Kendall (Lydia Jane Kendall) and Edgar Lunt (John Edgar Lunt). The dance was in Little Grande, I slept with Esther at Burton’s.
