    2. Lori
    3. Friday April 18, 1890 Took the train for Darlington where I made inquiries concerning the school for the coming winter. Returned the same evening. Monday, April 29(?) 1890 Took the morning passenger for Burlington Junction where I changed cars for Quitman. Called on the school board. Remained in town about two hours and then boarded a freight train for Bigelow, arriving at noon. After dinner, took a freight for Forest City to see the school officials. After an hour's stay, I took a passenger train for Bigelow where I spent the night. Took a freight the next morning for Craig where I took dinner and called on the school officials. Learning that would have to lay over in case I waited for a train, I walked back to Bigelow arriving in time to take the train for Burlington Junction. Called on the school boards at Bigelow and Skidmore. Arrived at Stanberry on the evening passenger. Friday, May 16, 1890 Edward came up to see me in a buggy. The next morning I went with him to mother's at Amity where I remained over Sunday. On Monday, I returned to Stanberry taking a load of our household goods with me. Edward furnished me a team and wagon for the purpose. Albert went with me to bring back the team and wagon. He made a second trip bringing the next of my goods. ++++++++++++ Pasted at the top of this page is another school report. Miss Lucie Mitchell was teacher of primary grades and E. W.
