Day in the Life

May 6, 1897

Journal Entry

May 06, 1897 ~ Thursday

AprMay 6th I have been very restless all night only getting brief naps
of sleep. at 830 Dr Snow came & found my nerves weak, said I had
better take a rest to day. I did so & slept most of the time before noon
then walked out, took lunch with the family, and walked out again
then rested & slept till 4 pm. dressed & prepared to go to a social
gathering at the residence of Bro B. H. Roberts. A Bro Hansen &
his wife called and wished me to administer to their child as they had
come the consequence of having had a dream to that effect. I told them I
did not administer to any body, & they had better call on some of the Elders.
My wife Emma & son Owen accompanied me to Bro Roberts at ^530^. We
returned about 10 pm. I soon went to sleep.
