Note: These handwritten entries were copied verbatim by me. They came from a large leather bound book that was not microfilmed & could not be photocopied. It appears that the accounting was conducted approximately every 6 months. Note the seemingly sweet comment about Seth's "faithful service at the poor house" - this was an unusual comment as the others were strictly business like in manner throughout the volume – Kim Curlin Wettroth
