William Thompson Diary handwritten 1841-47 21.pdf

Transcription

Octa, Octo, Oct's refers to the youngest son Octavius, who is not mentioned in RDA's summary. Octavius is found in Ancestry.com records and becomes a grocer in later years. Octavius seems to not be mentioned in the next year. Tuesday the 22nd mentions William "walking fast and even running". William dies in 1844 after a prolonged illness. This entry would indicate that William probably has extended health issues.
