He has sale on the 28th inst., and has three of the best cows in this county, which will be sold." The diary of Jacob Zentmyer, grandson of Adam, says on December 25, 1872: "We hat A poor chrismus no fun ataul we hat A turkey for diner Anuff to Eat and we are all well today we got A letter from M L Miller she rides that grandfather Zentmyer died he was 86 years & 5 month & 12 day old only sick from Sat till Sunday Night cold it began to Snow this Evening" Spelling and punctuation are as in the original.
