  Wed. Apr. 24 High wind mostly cloudy cool. I hauled manure from town for the asparagus patch and some strawey manure from Martin Straub for the raspberries and plum trees which are beside asparagus - afternoon I and Jake hauled out of our manure yard to finish both those jobs - then hauled a load of ground up for the hot house, mornings I also got a price of 8 x 10 glass by case lots - it is about 2¢ a sheet. Herb trimmed red raspberry plants all day. - after supper I planted a few trees from Stark and the grapes and one plant of red raspberry Diary of Gordon Christian Eby ________________________ The Departed - Martin Straub Friends of Martin Straub were shocked today to learn of his sudden death last evening at his home, 14 Joseph street city, about six o'clock.
