In Osceola on Monday, April 6, 1953, Dale wrote, “Sick leave. Out to Louie’s and Jack’s until after noon. I walked all over Jack’s timber pasture. To Lloyd’s for supper and walked out in the field. To Mother’s for the night.” We had driven Jettie home from her visit to Muscatine. Louie was Helen’s brother and Jack was Louie’s son-in-law; they had farms near each other. Lloyd was Dale’s brother.
