Some of the language appears strange to us today, for example the use of the preposition "to" where we would use "at" - "Preaching to the School House". "Got the mitten", (Sept. 23) - Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable describes this expression as meaning "to jilt" or "to send on one's way". I suspect he was trying to borrow some money with the object of buying a farm. "tuk dinner to" is used for "had dinner with". The word "hubs" seems to be an expression for what we would call ruts in the road. Travel was slow but they seemed to do a considerable bit of it. It is interesting to see that it took five hours from Mallorytown to Lyndhurst, also five hours from Brockville. The murder mentioned in the entry of Sept. 25, and referred to as a drowning on Sept. 26 & 27, would be the murder of Morgan Doxtader by his cousin Edgar Harter. Both men lived in Evans Mills, N.Y. and were in love with the same girl. Harter shot Doxtater while in a boat on Charleston Lake, and wiring the body to some rocks dumped it into the lake. The body later washed up on a shoal near the Outlet (now called Judgement Cove) and was discovered on Sept. 24. Harter was later arrested, convicted of the murder and hanged in Brockville on Dec. 20. The diary mentions that some young people from Lyndhurst went to Brockville to witness this hanging. These incidents are described by Edna B. Chant in her Book "Beautiful 29 �Charleston". The hanging is also mentioned by Ruth Mckenzie in "Leeds and Grenville", where she also states that Mother Barnes (The Witch of Plum Hollow) directed the searchers to the place where the body was found. It is amazing that there would be 600 people in Charleston to view the body of the murdered man. It is also remarkable how fast news travelled in those days with no telephones or radios. The drownings mentioned in the entry for Sept. 22, 1861, are also recorded in "Beautiful Charleston" (page 150). "On Sept. 22 1861, Abel Wiltse and Norman W. Hawkins, both mill workers were drowned between Wolf Island and Flat Island when their boat capsized. Hawkins' two sons Edgar and Henry were able to swim to Wolf Island where they were rescued. Both bodies were recovered". Note that Mr. Andress mentions this happening on the same date as it happened. It is strange that he varies the spelling of the same word, ex. :- "wether" then "weather" then back to "wether" again, sometimes on the same page. I have tried to copy all of Mr. Andress' spellings exactly as he wrote them. The domestic help seems to have changed often, probably because of the very strict account kept of time off, See :- Aliza Sheldon, Lost time - page 18. For more information on Henry M.
