When the Friends" of Sandy
Spring Neighborhood want to
know what tier great grandpar-
ents were doing 100 years ago they
can look in journal kept by
Richard T. Bentley, of Bloomfield,
through the years of 1912 1845,
now the property of his grandson,
Richard Bentley Thomas, Sandy
Spring historian. Or if they want
to go even further back, there is
an account book kept by Edward
Porter in which the first entry
was made in 1905 when he "Rec'd of
John Ellicott the sum of Thirty
Dollars on Acct of Bbls."

last week forgetting that Sandy

Lincoln at thaS time it was not
until 1916 that he came to Wash

We were little disappointed to
find that st. Valentine and George
Washington. were not mentioned
either. But there are many in
teresting and amusing entries in
these old Journals.
On End month, 18th, 1845, Nh.
Bentley made this cryptic entry:
"Sent to mill the clover seed. Went
to meeting. Joppa at rails" On the
14th he wrote: "Snow about two
inches deep. Men not able to
work in consequence. All that

the page to Feb. % (beg pardon
sir, End month, 22) and find this
entry, PLANTED potatoes in gar

over on st. Patrick wasn't it
Turning back to the fall of 1874
we read "Plowed garden today
with oxen" so of course the gentle
man had his ground ready for the
planting.
Must have been an early season
that year for, curious to know if
the potatoes were up on st. Pat

and found that on Bird month, II,
they had showers in the morning,

a breakoff in negotiations between
France and the Levant states.
