nine o'clock
We done the work up first , an ' ` Leven spried ` round for me , wipin ' the dishes with the wipin ' cloth in a bunch , an ' settin ' 'em up wrong places . An ' I did hev to go in the butt ` ry an ' laugh to see her sweep up . She swep ' up some like her broom was a branch an ' the wind a-switchin ' it . `` Mis ' Toplady an ' Mis ' Holcomb stopped by for us , with the white cotton cloth an ' the tacks , an ' by nine o'clock we was over to the cemet ` ry . The grave was all dug an ' lined with nice pine boards , an ' the dirt piled ` longside , an ' the boards for coverin ' an ' the spades layin ' near . Zittelhof was just leavin ' , havin ' got in his pulley things to lower 'em . Zittelhof 's rill up to date .
