Friday, April 24, 1868 - "Thare was two funerals in Brushland to day."

This is a fine day. I was spliting wood to day. Thare was two funerals in Brushland to day. Some of the folks were down to Brushland. Johny Scott* was buryed today.
Ann went down to D. Blacks to night. She stayed all night. Every thing remains still and quiet at present. I saw Sud. Gill to day. He was up to A. Liddles. Fill the rest out at your leasure. Brushland.
Walter J. Coulter.

*This was John F. Scott, the 11 year old son of John and Susan (Winter) Scott. He died April 22. The other funeral that day likely was that of Jane Black Murray, who died April 23 at the age of 78.  She was buried in the Old Associate Presbyterian cemetery at Reinertsen Hill Road.
