"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Wednesday, October 6th.

Father was gone from breakfast to sundown, building a chimney for Joe Ballinger. Alvin and I were employed in the forenoon in
getting the manure scattered around on the barn yard and hauling it into the field immediately below the house. After dinner we went
up to Crone's burying ground (17) and covered Charlies grave(18) with a lot of transplanted ferns, thus trying a new experiment. We then
loaded six short logs of the old church on the wagon and came home. Father cut some more of the buckwheat this morning. Weather
warmer than yesterday, and clear all day
