Wednesday, May 20, 1868 - "I went over the Scotch Mountain to day and down through Terry Clove"

This is also a cloudy day. I went to Hamden to day. 
I went over the Scotch Mountain to day and down through Terry Clove.
Captain James Blair* was Burryed to day. 
Thare was a man here to night, he wanted to stay all night. I was in three different towns to day.

We learn from the Marriage lists that Dr. Winship, the Modern Samson, has met his Delilah.
1868
*This is probably James J. Blair.  The son of Peter Blair and Mary McCune, he was married to Hannah Bailey.  He died on May 18, 1868, seven months before the birth of his only child, John Walter Blair.
