The Life Of George Holcomb- A New Tenant For The Rodgers House

April 23, 2015 By eastwickpress

Friday: I went with both teams and drew two loads stone for brother Sylvester. He had a bee and had fifteen loads carried that came out the chimney of the old house that he bought of E. Pierce, and then we went on to my Rodgers Farm with both teams and got two saw logs and carried to E. Goodrich mill.  My son Geo P. drove one team. Towards night I went over after my wife to brother Newton. He remains quite low and helpless.

Saturday: I tended to chores and chopped wood, quite warm day. Tonight I am quite unwell with a relax.

Sunday a snow storm and high wind.  On this evening Sylvenas Carpenter the son of Solomon Carpenter deceased sent the cow to me this evening by Henry Ostrander that I bargained for on Friday last. I agreed to pay twenty-three dollars providing there is no deficiency.

Wednesday, March 25: This forenoon I took my sleigh and moved a load of goods that consisted of a bureau and chest and clock for Mr. Amos Chapman into my Rodgers house. Today Mr. Hiram Mattison school was out and he brought his sister Minerva and took dinner with us.

Saturday: I tended to my chores, chopped some to the door, and I walked over to Wm Brown’s store to choose committee to nominate town officers. They made choice of me for one of the five to meet the other fifteen on Thursday next. I paid three cts for candy for my children to said Wm Brown’s store.
