~ Hidden Timber, South Dakota
November 24, 1931, Tuesday: Wind blew in night and snow drifted in places, especially Miss Kulhany’s foot-bridge across Creek was deep on each side, and she went through snow and got all peppered with it in morning, but Wm shoveled it in evening.
November 24, 1932, Thursday: Bright, nice Thanksgiving morning, but not so nice in day, for wind blew from S.W. or westerly direction, but was warm until evening got chilly. I got 2 meals and sewed a little on everyday clothes, and canned beets that were in open jar, and Mrs. Roy Hutchins and Clyde came down in p.m., so I walked back with them to where Will was putting hay on wagon, and we got on load, and he took them home. Roy was in from hay-field also, for he and Will put up 2 stacks for Roy. Wm went to fix fence on his place and brought back a load of hay in evening to feed stock.
November 24, 1940, Sunday: Bright but cool south wind. I got meals and Will took me to 10:30 a.m. church at St. Therese’s Chapel, Hidden Timber, and he got me before noon. In p.m. we went to J. H. Tate’s to Legion Meeting (Special). The men talk about getting funds to help pay for an Iron Lung for this territory. Ladies helped Mrs. Tate and Mrs. Jim Horton tie a small baby quilt, and Will and I joined the Red Cross, for Mrs. Tate is soliciting. The Aid is having a bazaar Saturday, Nov. 30th.
