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.

FYI . . . Sam Sharp is my 2nd great-grandpa . . . and he is the step-brother as well as the brother-in-law of J.M. Hall . . . Mother is actually Sam's mother, and my 3rd great-grandma, Mahala Lee Sharp Hall nee Roberts (1816-1885) . . .
