September 1, 1931

I started to read the bible of 778 pages and finished it.

September 3, 1931

I walked to Friday Gulch.[1. Mary had a cabin in Friday Gulch. See reference in this post – On this day in 1931: Sleigh trip to Towsley. Mary’s husband Albert and her son Christie stayed there on occasion while working at the Shakopee mine. See these two posts – On this day in 1931: Christie left to work on the Shakopee mine and 20# pail of mushrooms.]

September 6, 1931

Florine Bridenback (Lohman) [2. A quick search in Ancestry shows a Florine Briedenbach living in Great Falls, Montana with her husband Theodore. Other records indicate her maiden name was spelled “Lohmann”.] and children was here. Alb. and Christie got water again in the Efhel Tower well.[3. I assume “Efhel Tower” should be “Eiffel Tower” but I have not been able to identify the location of this well.]

September 8, 1931

I near froze in bed, it turned so cold. I’ve split kindling, sawed wood, packed water until my knees & elbow are all pain and packed boards from Edward’s (Will’s) house.[4. I assume this reference is to her brother Will’s former house in Marysville.]
