Jackson That they might have independence, freedom and religious liberty, our ancestors came to America. All these they found or achieved, but the price they paid was high in deprivations and hardships.

During an absence from home of several days, one of the twins sickened and died. There being no aid at hand and Mr. Loghry not returning, Mrs. Loghry dug a grave and buried her child. Hannah M.
