To day I drove Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] over to Mrs. Keen's in the buggy where her and Mrs. Keen drove up to the Baptist church to hear the funeral sermon of Silas E. Keen preached by the Rev. Mr. Nash. Nellie and Mrs. Keen returned home in the evening. Florence [Florence Mahala Hall] was taken sick with fever. Weather clear and hot. Ther: 92°.
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.
