To day the boys finished plowing out the corn in the lower field. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] came home from Mrs. Bird's. I made a bench for the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] to use at the house. Hicks attended the mill and ground 30 bushels of corn. Hansel Coburn stopped with me for the night on his way home from Magnolia. Weather clear & warm. Ther: 88°.
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.
