Thursday, May 28, 1868 - "We were planting potatoes this afternoon"

It looks like rain to day. We were planting potatoes this afternoon. I was drawing dung this forenoon.
Thare was Spelling School to night. I was down to it. R. Scott, Thid and O. Dickson, John Forest, Joe Forest, Mary Ann Thompson*, Alice Russell, Tom Winter, Jane Forrest, Miss Dysart, H. Warren, Susan Thompson, and G. Cable were at the S.S. to night.
One year today we planted potatoes.
Brushland, Del. Co.

*This might be Mary Ann Thomson (1846-1925), daughter of John R. Thomson and Helen Armstrong.  She married James G. Russell in March 1870.
