To day the boys are at work at the mill. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] & I rode to Crockett in the buggy in order to procure a few articles. We stopped at Billy Stewart's and found him sick in bed. we were in the night driving home. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] came up and assisted Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] in taking care of the children during our absence. Weather clear & very hot. Ther: 94°.
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.
