Grandma Pfaltzgraff's journal beginning February 7, 1916

7th - Elda washed clothes.  Fred helped her some and washed his car.  Mrs. Rothe called.

8th - Fred sermonized in the forenoon on two sermons.  In the afternoon He went to look for another hired girl but could not get any where because of drifts so he phoned to Laura Eppelsheimer. (Laura is listed as being 12 in the 1910 census and her father and mother were mentioned in the previous post.  She would be 18 or thereabouts at the writing of this journal.) A. Kuester (Found a Kuester family living in Cass County, IA.  John, head of the household may have gond by his middle name.)  called on me in the afternoon.  Fred and Elda went to the Y.P.A. business meeting at the church in the evening.  Ella Sothman (Ella is listed as being 14 in the 1910 census so she would have been around 20 years old when elected president of the Y.P.A.) was elected Pres and she is no member of the church.

9th - Elda left today and Laura Eppelsheimer came for work.  Fred called at Bergs & Chr. Fishers & Ed Fishers. (There are too many Bergs in Cass County, IA in 1910 to narrow them down to the family that grandfather called on.  There is a Christian Fisher listed in 1910 census living in Guthrie County, IA which is near Cass County, IA so this might be who grandpa called on.  Census shows an Edward Fisher {Fieker according to census transcriber} living in Cass County, IA in 1910.) 

10th - Fred stayed home today.  Mrs. Dolch & Mrs. Ed Fisher called on me. (There are 8 different Dolch women listed in Cass County, IA in the 1910 census, so it is difficult to pinpoint which one might have called on grandma.)

11th - Fred made 3 calls at H. Roth's, Walter Eppelsheimer & G.P. Schuler.  (Could not locate for certain an H. Roth in 1910 Census.  Walter was documented in the previous blog.  There are too many G. Schulers living in Cass County, IA in 1910 to determine which one this is.)

12th - Fred cleaned the church & called at Sondermans.  Laura got ready for company.  Mrs. Fred Schuler called on me. (There are three Fred Schuler's but caller was either Mary or Louisa Schuler.  There were two Mary Schulers listed int he 1910 census.)
