Midland Railroad - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Wednesday June 11 - - Willie went over to Wm. Kelso's this morning and told them that Almyra would start for home on the 10.23 a.m. train. The telegram rec'd yesterday evening (not on Monday) said that Bertie was sick and for her to come at once. Six men from here are now at work running a survey for the Midland railroad. Beginning just a little SE of town and running west to some say Guion. I don't know where.

Nov 1895 -- Saturday Nov 16 -- $5.20. Paid 35 cts for Express on laundry basket from Terre Haute. Eva went out home with her sister Mary Ellen. I was done work by 9.30 work was not brisk until after night. I had a very little to do before noon. I was told tonight that our cow come very near being run down on the Midland railroad just at the west end of town. The weather has turned a little mite colder.
