“1885—JANUARY 1 ANOTHER YEAR HAS ‘come with its cares and joys and sorrows and may we improve each shining hour.’
It is Thursday and we have all been about or near home this New Year’s Day. We are very comfortable living at Judge Wadleigh’s house. January started out cold for several days, 4 degrees below in the morning. I did a large ironing in the morning. Zaph has been over to see Aunt Irene Hutchinson several times at her farm on Amherst Street and finds her comfortable. The three boys have been out to lectures and donation parties most of the day. Friday I made 8 pies and then mixed bread. Zaph has been up to the King’s Quarry Ledge with Mr. Perham and put up some of his wood in the afternoon. George went to his writing school in the evening.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Polly Cote’s new book is a fascinating and detailed account of Cate’s difficult and often mundane life between 1885 and 1899, her arduous journeys, family milestones, and through it all her sustaining faith in God.
As a continuing point of interest from book one, book two includes population information from the “Old Farmer’s Almanac” for the time period, as well as the diary of Cyrus Porter Colby, an interesting man who joined Cate’s family through the marriage of his daughter to Cate’s son.
