Tuesday, January 28, 1868 - "Thare was a Surprise party at Tom Thompsons..."

This has been a tolerable fine day. Frank Scott was here this morning. He went away this forenoon.
I was drawing wood to day. A. Boyd brought some hay down to day.
There is Spelling School to night. I was down to it. R. Scott, Joe Forrest, H. Warren, Bill Coulter, Miss Dennis, Net Rutherford, Bell Rutherford*, Uphy Forrest**, Jane Forrest and Lill & Ann were at the S.S. to night. Thare was a Surprise party at Tom Thompsons to night. W.W. Forrest and John Forrest went to it. Brushland.

*These two Rutherfords likely are the sisters Jannett (b 1848) and Annabell or Anna Isabella( 1850-1921), the daughters of Robert and Hannah Rutherford.
**This possibly is Euphemia G. Forrest (1829-1872).
