Friday, January 17, 1868 - "...from neglect of nature's laws."

This is a cold Stormy day. I have been drawing wood to day as my ocupation if I may so term it. Jim came home today. Ann is not home to day. Bill went down the road This afternoon. Thare is Singing S. in Brushland to night. One year ago to night Bill Thompson and Net McAaron* were Married. Same night thare was a Show in Brushland. 

He that hinders not a mischief when it is in his power, is guilty of it.**
Of all Disease the great first cause springs from neglect of nature’s laws.**


*This is a reference to the marriage of William B. Thomson (1843-1929), son of William and Jennett Thomson to Jeanette McEachron (1841-1919), daughter of Alexander and Jannett McEachron.
**These are both quotes that appeared in publications from the 1850s.
