| Journal of Aug. f. 1892 we noticed a sketch
! from the pen OF a Liberty gentleman of Rev.
Elijah P. Lovejoy, who was one of the many
who have died for their opinions. In regard
| to his visit at John Sylvester's we would say
that we knew no less than thirty of John
sons relatives on the fathers side and also
knew the Strout family. We well remember
in our childhood of listening to stories told
by Capt Strout and Squire Wood. The
snowstorm of last week affords us slight
run Of sleighing.
