James Roger diary entry
19th May 1913
Cool with high west wind; cloudy like to be showers. David with Lonie and his man painting Jim Davis’ house. Franck Hirck (Hyck?) finished John’s lawn, etc. at noon and cut lots for me in the cemetery in the afternoon. Got letter from Hamish from Buffalo. Mother had pretty good night and comfortable, only slightly constipated, which worries her. Lena Preston called today.
