March 11-17
At church and hear Mr. Latane. He is very interesting. Sue and I stay in town visiting. I go to church again at night. Poor Sue is in bed sick with a headache. Attend Mr. John Tool's [the artist's] funeral. He was buried with masonic honors. It was a very impressive ceremony but it does not seem right to bury our dead out of our sight without a prayer or a word from one of God's ambassadors. Attend several lectures on Sunday Schools by a Mr. Hunter who calls himself the children's friend. He certainly has the happy facility of engaging their whole attention while addressing them. He must be a good man for I don't believe one whose heart is not in his work could talk as he does. Maggie and Nannie [Anderson] are much interested and stay in town until he leaves. Sue and I make a visit of two days and two night to Orange Dale .....Get the whole household interested in my block work. All the old trunks and boxes are ransacked to add to my stock of materials. Aunt Rebecca gives me quite a treasure, a piece of a dress she and Ma had when they were young. Get back to town on Thursday morning ....[Pays many visits.] Saturday attend church and heard a sermon from Mr. Meade....
