"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

1881

Friday, March 4th.

The snow squalls continued all last night and all day to­
day. About eleven o'clock I rigged up and went over to Fowler's
to attend John's "Infair" as per invitation received from John
himself last Tuesday. About 18 were present besides the family
I believe. Except that I made a couple of stupid blunders I
believe everything went off smoothly and everybody enjoyed
themselves. I was back home by five o'clock. Father spent the
time that I was gone at Bob Foster's Alvin cut down a tree
above the "orchard" for backlogs My old tooth if anything was
worse.
