May 1872 - One thing after another

ACCIDENT.-Mr. Elisha Fredricks, of Sharon, on Friday last, while engaged in running a circular saw at the Spring Mill, had his left hand caught, tearing and mangling it so badly that amputation of the thumb below the joint, and the fore and ring fingers at the hand, became necessary. Dr. W. D. Chase performed the operation. Mr. Fredricks has been very unfortunate of late. During the early part of the winter, while engaged in chopping wood, he received a cut in his foot the whole width of the axe, which kept him from laboring until within a few days of this last misfortune.

30th June 1912 - a “screamer” of a sermon

Dry with cool north wind. Mr. Lord preached a regular Screamer sermon, whooping up the Country, a regular Spread Eagle affair. “My Country T’is of Thee” and think of Baltimore and Chicago. S.S. after. Collection:  25 / 19. Evening service. I did not attend it. This month has been the driest on record. Crops at a standstill for want of rain. Miss Lee paid her seat rent today.
