Another entry from the journal of E.E. Litchfield. Between this one and the last one we posted he talks about chores on the farm. We read this one as follows:

“Pleasant in A.M.. Had a thunder shower in P.M.. Charlie Milks and wife down to Ellicottville stopped here to dinner. Bees swarmed, a big swarm too. Went to town and got corn to plant.”
