"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Wednesday, November 10th.

It rained hard at least part of last night and the wind blew in fearful gusts from the south all the afternoon and part
of the forenoon. Heavy masses of cloud floated over and there was an occasional spitting of rain. Father was away
on business at Mrs Joel Moore's during the forenoon. In the afternoon he and Alvin went with the wagon and got
some more logs from the old Crone church to be used in the cow-stable. I chored around at various things during
the day. Alvin did likewise during the forenoon besides helping Mother wash. It was rather warm but got a little
cooler towards night I believe Aleck Benge gathered the corn on his contract yesterday.
