24th & 25th – Cut sprouts. Stopped at Marys on way home but she wasnt there yet.

Mary seems to be living with her Uncle Ed McCormick and helping her Aunt Sallie in Chillicothe during the week, and then she comes home to her parents’ house on the Bench property on Fridays or Saturdays. Correction: While she might be helping out with chores and childcare, according to her daughter Jessie Dawkins, “Mom worked in Chillicothe for a lady living near the business college & this lady did sewing.”
