1897 (Wednesday) – I went up and got Grandma Sperry (Emily Louisa Miller) and she stayed all night with us. We played cards, Mother (Caroline Webb) and Grandma Sperry against Melvin (Henry Melvin Sperry) and I. Oscar (Alfred Oscar Lunt) was going to come down but towards evening a clod blizzard blew up and it was too cold for him to come.
