Early Day History Retold On A Westward Home

In the fall of 1855 I helped build a house on the Charlie Auniniel farm and boarded with Father Smith and his wife. A fever outbreak struck our household with typhoid and ague, hospitalizing my wife and infant as I cared for five children. We endured six harsh weeks of winter, while neighbors aided us, and Dr. Wasson treated the fever until a hopeful revival emerged for my wife and Johnnie.
