Up 8 A.M. Bright cool day. Windy at night. Chatted and chored around in A.M. To Rexford Park at night with Everett Young, Charles Wagner and H.H. To bed 11:30 P.M.

I've seen the word chore used as a verb often in Stanford's journal, but it was a new form of the word to me. I looked it up on line to see when it might have been commonly used in that way, but the only definition I could find for the verb to chore was in the Webster's dictionary of 1913, publicly available on the internet at this address: 1913 Webster's Dictionary.
It no longer appears in dictionaries as a verb, although I'm not sure when it fell out of use.
