To day I am still in Liberty and moved my quarters from Captain Wrigley's over to Captain Peacock's. Jack McKim poor fellow was gathered to his fathers. he died about 8 o'clock a.m. "unwept, unhonored & unsung" although for form sake he was buried with Masonic honors. My wagons arrived at night and drove down to the ware house where they are now camped. Mrs. Beale [Elizabeth Lemaire Beale nee Waring] has some what recovered from her indisposition, occasioned by the arrival of her daughter, Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire]. There was two deaths in Liberty. weather cloudy & rather cool with occasional showers of rain.
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.
