Ther. 47 Rain & Cloudy Wind Variable
Sat. April 13th, 1895

It commenced raining before
day light & continued at intervals
until afternoon. We had a thunder
storm before sunset. Willie & I
drove down to B Owen Hardy's. I walked
home from Ashton & W drove on to
"Fairfield" and brought Fanny back
with him in the afternoon. I went
up to the store & to the mill.
After supper I rode down to
Ashton for some medicine.
The boys next door (with our help)
burned the hedge brush, which
made a tremendious blaze
but everything being wet from
the rain and there being no wind
blowing it did no harm.

& to spend the night. After supper I
went with Willie & Fanny down to the
(So called) Orthodox Meeting house
& heard five sermons & 2 prayers.
