Tuesday, February 4, 1868 – “This is my Birth day.”

This is a cold day. This is my Birth day. I am 25 year-old to day. John Forrest, Henry Liddle and Net Rutherford are here this morning. I was down to Brushland this forenoon. Bill went down to T. Forrests with me. Net Rutherford rode down to D. Blacks* with me. I was drawing manure this afternoon. Lill and Ann & Henry Liddle went up to A. Liddle to day. 

Knowledge is power – to accomplish, to enjoy – and these are the only ends for which man was created. All knowledge confers this power.

*This is probably David Black (1824-1883) who had a farm on Coulter Brook Road.
