we have just heard that Cleon Fobes has had a shock am very sorry. he worked in the CoOperative bank & used to be our Postmaster an awful good man. anything but a shock hope I never have one. they live forever.

I have just been out & brought in an old broken limb & worked it up so I can burn it in the stove. it does seem good to get out in the backyard since the snow & ice have gone. I raked the ashes that have thawed since this mild weather came. no one can tell what the weather will be after it clears. I hope we get no more zero weather. for the last week we have only kept our kitchen fire going. every one up this way complains of freezing. but we so far have been very comfortable with two stoves & we turn off the Oil heat very early in the morning this mild weather. Elizabeth Southworth called up this morning & said she was never so cold in her life as she had been this winter, she was snowed in there & the Oil man refused to deliver until she got a path so he could drive in. she lives way in from the Street. it took her a long time to get any one to shovel them out. she & Mrs Barry are very great friends not many like Elizabeth too honest German decent & speaks right out hit or miss.
