Wind Blows The Fences Down

Thursday, November 20, 1851: Today I went to Lebanon with one horse wagon. I carried Doctor Bates one bushel turnips and he credits me on account and carried the Irish shoe maker two bushel for 50 cts and he charged me six cts for a patch he put on John F. boot. The widow Freelove Wylie rode to Lebanon with me and carried lard and bought groceries to N. Nichols store. I paid 12 cts for buttons, and I paid 37 cts to Wilbers Mill for 12 pounds of Graham flour for the widow Freelove Wylie. The wife of Gardner Green rode home with us.
Friday: Today quite a rainy day and high wind, I only tended to chores. My two sons and James Cramp cut turnips up to the Maxon barn for Geo P.
Saturday: I went with ox wagon up to Geo P. nursery on R. G. Pierces farm and met John F. and got a load corn fodder. John F. had been to Hancock with carrots. He let Barker have 20 bushels at 25 cts and took his pay in Satinette cloth. John F came home with the load stalks and I stopped to my Rodgers farm and put up fence that blew down. Tonight John F. watched with Burton Jolls today, while up to Geo P. nursery I found the board fence blew down. I borrowed 16 nails of Nathaniel Wylie to nail on the boards.
Sunday: Today John F. and his two sisters went to the Chapel to Elder Havens meeting.
