Wednesday, August 30, 1865 Father and Fred finished digging the potatoes to W place. Emerson and babies called. H L gone to Spd. and Wilbraham. I picked rest of berries.  From the 1865 Diary of Mary Ann (Knox) Herrick Tuesday, August 29, 1865 Sent Liss, Bessie and Abbie to school. I feel some better. Finished threshing the rye and cleaned it up. I picked part of the cranberries. *Liss was 15, Bessie was 13, Abbie was 11.  Monday, August 28, 1865 Bell washed. I feel real bad. School has begun but we didn’t know it.  Sunday, August 27, 1865 Don’t feel well enough to go to church. The girls went.  Saturday, August 26, 1865 The (?) girls started, then Lule and family with Lib. I made a cheese then went to my Bell with Father and ?  Friday, August 25, 1865 H is thrashing. Lib carried Em to school in the carriage. I baked in forenoon. Felt sick all afternoon. Sarah and children come down.  Thursday, August 24, 1865 Mr. S and Betsey come after dinner. Sule and Lib with children come.  From the 1865 Diary of Mary Ann (Knox) Herrick Wednesday, August 23, 1865 Father so angry about the oxen. I fear how awful Father is so angry with H. He says he’ll sue him. Sent Bell up across lots so Father wouldn’t see her. I feel so badly. Seems as though would kill me. I’ve been and sit out in the swamp. Lil’s come to get me. Come home and went to H. Says they have settled. I am so glad. Aunt L and Betsy come. *I'm guessing that H is their son, Henry. He was 26 years old at the time. Maybe an 1865 version of your kid taking your car without asking permission?  Tuesday, August 22, 1865 Let Ella, Addie, Bessie and Abbie go over to Mrs. S B. Rained towards night and all night. Those men come again.  |
