Thurs. 11. Mrs. Guest took Esther, Anna and me to Franklin to Al Clingan's funeral – I taking cold – was very tired when we got home.  Saw so many people.  I was glad to see and who seem to be glad to see me.  It was good, but made me very tired.  We were to go with Ed's then they had to take the flowers early and Guests offered to take us.
