"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Sunday October 17th.

But I still did'n't feel very well to-day. The winds continued to blow more or less hard all day-heavy masses of dark cloud floated
over and a few times during the day snow fell. I went on the creek twice to-day and heard two onslaughts by the Rev. Runyon33
of the patriarchal beard on everybody that differed from him in religious belief condemning them to the pain of eternal punishment.

at dusk to get Pap to go on another property division but he did'n't promise them. Father went up to Bob Foster's in the afternoon
and Alvin "jooked" once I believe.

Teaching Notes: The Harrison farm was near two "meeting houses," each about a mile from their home. The road that went by
their home has moved north about a quarter of a mile...probably to keep from being washed out as much. Burnet's creek crossed
the "lower 80" of their farm and although not a large creek, it was...and is subject to rapid flooding.
