To day the boys cut up and salted down the pork that I had killed on yesterday. Sam Sharp ground only 2 bushels of corn. The little woman [aka Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] went over to Mr. Leaverton's to assist in nursing his infant child in it's sick, but while the child died, it was the youngest child of Mr. Leaverton being only about 4 weeks old. weather clear and very cold with a hard frost at night.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.
