This has been a very pleasant day
and it is a beautiful night. Melia and I are sitting up with Will tonight. The
Dr. was here this morning. He said he was getting along as well as he could.
Add and Henry and the Children are
all up to Robert Potts’s to day, visiting. Billy Stevens was up here this
morning to see Billy.
Mother is about [sick] with
headache.

Niece notes: Robert Potts owned a large estate near the middle of town that was one of the most popular spots for social gatherings. Also, someone recently asked me why these journal entries are so short. It's because the diary that Celia wrote in came with the dates printed on the pages, and there wasn't much space! Later she does get more adventurous with writing up the margins, etc.
Visiting! There it is -- I wrote a blog post about Visiting a few weeks ago :-) http://wp.me/p56D2R-8Z
ReplyDeleteI read that one! Really interesting :)
DeleteThe Potts are mingled in to our ancestry too, right?
ReplyDeleteYep! And the Potts family reunion, as I understand, is still an annual event in Milford, run by the same family!
