Day in the Life
Journal Entry
October 30, 1859 ~ Sunday
30th Brother A. O. Smoot was spending considerable
time with me. Judge Eckles has issued a warrant against
him & put it into the hands of the Sheriff Peter K Dodson
to bring him to Camp Floyd which was not a vexatious
warrant without any Just cause or provocation so he spent
his time with me to avoid being taken. He assisted in taking
care of me I still had to be lifted and turned in bed as
I had no strength to turn myself.
