Monday, January 4th, 1864


To day the boys are still at work chopping wood in the new ground. Sam* [Samuel Houston Sharp] rode out hog hunting but without success. I ground 13 bushels of wheat. Weather cloudy and bitter cold with a light sprinkle of hail & snow. The mill pond is still frozen over one inch thick.


*This Sam is a 2nd great-grandpa to the Keeper of this family history blog.
