James Roger diary entry
4th (Friday)
Cold cloudy day wind N. to W. dust blowing and wind surging with a sound of rain in it. David fixing up his two horse team as some bolts have given way. Also put on storm windows in house and fixed up little door under barn with hinges. I put leaves in hen house, also some clover hay and filled boiler. Fell and hurt shoulder chasing a hen. The joiners have been busy putting in floor in Church dining room for some days past. Women’s Relief Corps have supper tonight down town. Mr. Bucknam put manure round shrubs on Church Common and G. Sargent on Gordon’s hedge.
