Willie brought Dora & Edward
home from "Fairfield" about 8 o'clk
this morning & went directly back.
E went to school again, his cold
being better. I rode over to see
Jno W Johnson about hauling
me some corn from Gilbert Smith's
but could not find him.
Afternoon Lucy Stabler was
here to see Dora. I rode down
to Ashton. Old Caroline Edwards
was buried this afternoon, she
was one of the last "runaway
slaves" from Maryland before
the civil war. She was owned
by the Manakee family and
ran away in 1857. Succeeded
in getting into Canada, where
she remained until the war
was over, when she returned
& has lived here ever since.

Wind. NE &N.W Snow. Ther. 35
Wed. March 11^th, 1896.

Commenced snowing befor day-
light this morning & continued
all day more or less; towards
night the wind changed to N.W.
but instead of clearing off, it
continued snowing with even
more violence, making it almost
a "blizzard", except that
it is not cold enough to freeze
much. I walked up to the P.O.
before dinner & again afternoon
to mail a letter to Helen B Lea.
Was called (by telephone) to go to
"Bloomfield" to prescribe for
Chas. Hallowells little boy
"Robin" who has high fever, sore
throat etc. I walked down through
the snow. It is still snowing at
bed time & unless it either stops,
or turns to rain will be quite
deep before tomorrow morning.
