Oct. 4-10
Hear Mr. Meade....Go home with Sister Betty after church. In the evening Sister Betty and I go to The Delevan hospital to see Jimmie Watson and hear from Johnnie Watson who was very badly wounded in the last fight in Orange County. We saw Jimmie and Cousin Fannie Sheppard ....Poor Johnnie, I fear is mortally wounded and the poor boy is entirely unconsious of his danger. Get home Monday to dinner. Mary Walker Randolph died Sunday night. Why is it that the young and beautiful and those whose cup of happiness seem full to overflowing should be called home whilst those whose cross is very heavy and their most earnest prayer is to be gone, should be left to watch and search on? It is not for us to question. God knows what is right and best and will one day make it plain to us. Tuesday I'm at Clover Fields and see the body of my old and dear friend given to its mother earth. She is the first of our little band of five who lived so happily together as school mates that has been called home. She died as she had lived, a Christian and is home in the enjoyment of that perfect peace ....
