Dec 19th

One Year has pased since I commenced this book it has pased veary quick and I must say it has ben a veary Pleasant One for me. I am Satisfied I have don things which I had not ought to do I know but then we cant be Perfict in every thing

I hope Every Person's whoes Name I have in this Book can say as I can that this has be a Happy Year for them Some things has come to pass as I thought and some has not Some things has happened that I would rather not have that is the Letter that I received on the 17th if I was told a Year ago of it I would not Believe it for it would seem unreasonable I never hed such a thing before the Idea of a (Ladey? scratched out) writing such a letter I dont know what to make of it

One Year ago to Night it was a Cold Night to Night it is a veary Damp one no Snow yet I have written things in this Book which I often Wish I had not Don for they bring up some veary painfull Thoughts Which would like to forget if I could Some of my Friends that was has turned out Bad while I have ben better then I was one year ago then I did not care Where I whent or Did then no one could Dare me to go aney Place but I would go now I dont believe that I Would go in to a Saloone with them I have don nothing that I am Ashamed of that I know of but I have don some things that I wish I had not don

I have don One thing that I will not regret that has made me veary heppey for I have found a Precious Diamond with a Dimple in her Chin who is away from me at this moment but will be with me in 2 Weeks if nothing hapens

During the Past year I have enjoyed my Self to Parteys Sosciables Walks taking rides in the Steam Boat up to Troy in the Country for a Week out at Meddleburgh one day down at Sing Sing that was the best of all

If I am alive this time Next Year I will trie and Write some in this Book perhaps it will be better than I have written to Night I hope I will Enjoy next Year better then the Past I guess I had better Wait until after New Years and write some more about the Past Year for there is a lot to write about which I may see Clearer then all my wishs is that it will be a Happey New Year for us.

WILKES--At Bath-on-the-Hudson, March 3, Henry Wilkes, aged 42 years. Funeral Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, from the M.E. Church at Bath.

--The funeral of the late Henry Wilkes accurred yesterday afternoon from the Methodist church and was largely attended by members of the G.A.R. Greenbush lodge. F. & A. M. attended in a body and performed the last rites of their order at the church; the services being conducted by W.M. John Cooper. The Rev. J. C. Simmer delivered a short but vrey impressive address. The remains were interred in the vollage cemetary.

THE LAST OF THIRTEEN.

Death of Henry Wilkes of the Crew that Blew Up the "Albermarie" in 1864.

Henry Wilkes died yesterday at his home No. 4 First street, Bath-on-the-Hudson, aged forty-one years. He had been employed as a pressman by the firm of Weed, Parsons & Co. for a number of years, and few would have suspected that the quiet, unassuming man had seen active service in the war of the rebellion, and had gone through an episode that demonstrated his courage, daring and devotion to his country. This episode was the destruction of the confederate ram, "Albermarie" in 1864.

When Lieutenant Cushing called for sailor volunteers, Henry Wilkes was one of the first to respond. Lieutenant Cushing, with a crew of thirteen men, on board "Pilot boat No. 1," to which was attached a torpedo, and on the bow of which was mounted a howitzer gun, entered the Roanoke river on the night of October 27, 1864, and passing close to several confederate boats, ran against the side of the rebel ram "Albemarie," then lying at the dock at the town of Plymouth, and then blew it up. After the explosion the crew of the pilot boat jumped into the river and attempted to escape by swimming, but only Lieutenant Cushing and one of the crew succeeded. The others, including Wilkes, were taken prisoners and sent to Salisbury prison, Wilkes remained in confinement for four months. Medals of honor were prepared by the Navy department and presented to him and others of the crew, Commodore Montgomery presenting the medal to Wilkes. It is believed that he was the last survivor of that crew of thirteen. His funeral will take place from his late residence in Bath on Wednesday afternoon.

I included these funeral notices because Wilkes is a name appearing somewhere in our Genealogy and I don't know if it is him or any relation to him.

Wednesday March 7, 1888 3 P.M. he never talked about the war unless you asked him to do so.

Wednesday March 28, 1888. Went to New York to meet Elder James H. Hart and have him Baptize me in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

There continues to be entries of attendence at the First Presbyterian Church and a newspaper clipping about that church's anniversary and mention of Edgar and Joseph among others receiving prizes for attendance.

May 22, 1888. Joined the Albany Pressmens Union Times are so uncertain that I don't want to run the risk of getting out of work and not have a Card. Not because I wanted to only because I felt as though I ought to do it for my own protection

HE'S A MORMON NOW.

CHARLES HERMANCE IS BAPTIZED IN THE SALT LAKE FAITH.

Morman Elder Summerhays, Tanner by Occupation, Gathered Mr. Hermance Into the Fold of Latter Day Saints While in Albany on a Business Trip--The Convert Simply Doesn't Deny His Conversion--His Wife Takes a Cheerful View of the Matter.

Mr. Summerhays, of Salt Lake City, Utah, has been in Albany recently, and though he has gone agian, he has left an influence behind him that survives. It survives in the person of Charles Hermance, of No. 243 First street. It appears that Mr. Summerhays, who is a Mormon by faith and a tanner by occupation, combines business with pleasure by incidentally baptizing people in the Mormon faith while he is traveling about the country in the interest of his worldly affairs. He has the authority to do this because, as it is said, he is an elder of the Mormon church. The story began to circultate yesterday that Mr. Hermance, who is a pressman in the employ of Weed, Parsons & Co., was baptized in the Mormon faith by Mr. Summerhays on the previous day. An EXPRESS reporter saw Mr. Hermance yesterday and asked him what truth there was in the story that he had been converted to Mormonism.

"I don't want to say anything about it," replied Mr. Hermance, after having inquired about the reporter's occupation and name; "I simply won't deny it. I don't care to make a sensation, and I hope you will respect my feelings. I am not looking for a sensation. It would only advertise the cause to say much about the cause."

"Was this man from Salt Lake a Mormon missionary?"

"No, he is just a business man, a friend of mine. He travels in the interest of his business."

"Has he converted anyone else in this city that you know of?"

"No, he hasn't."

"Do you intend to remove to Salt Lake City?"

"I won't say anything about that. I don't have to. I have a good situation here."

"Is this man from Salt Lake still in this city?"

"No; he's on his way home now."

As it was very evident that Mr. Hermance wanted to be a Mormon in a quiet, unobtrusive way, and that he did not care to voice his views on Mormonism and polygamy for the benefit of the public, the reporter concluded to "spare his feelings" as requested, and withdrew. Mr. Hermance is a quiet man, below medium stature, and of slim build. He is probably about thirty-five years of age, and wears a full beard with long chin whiskers.

Thinking that possibly the wife of the new convert might desire to say something, the reporter went to No. 243 First street and rapped at the door on the upper floor, where the newly converted Mormon abides with his family when he is at home.

A pleasant faced woman with a chubby faced babe in her arms opened the door, and in reply to the reporter's question said she was Mrs. Hermance.

"They say your husband has been converted to Mormonism; is that a fact?" asked the reporter.

"I don't want to say anything about it," replied she, laughing heartily.

"You know, of course, that according to the Morman faith his is privileged to take several more wives if he chooses."

"I don't know anything abou it; I don't want to say anything."

"But that is a fact; wouldn't you care?"

"Oh, I don't want to say anything about it; he's my husband; if it were anybody else, I might talk about it."

She seemed to regard it all in the light of a good joke, as she seemed to be in the best of humor. She took a picture from the mantel shelf and showed it to the reporter, saying that it was that of Mr. Summerhays. According to the picture, Mr. Summerhays, tanner and Mormon elder, is past middle age, but of large preportions and very erect carriage. He has a chin whisker that is a little too expansive to be called a goatee.

The reporter thanked Mrs. Hermance for her kindness and departed, wondering why a man with a cheerful, pleasant little wife and four children, wanted to join the Mormon church with its polygamous creed.

It is said that Mr. Hermance became acquainted with some Mormons while he was working at Niagara Falls a few years ago, and has since kept up a correspondence with them; and it is supposed that in this manner he gradually became converted to their belief.

Monday I was caled in the Office by Mr. J. D. Parsons. when I was go out at 6:00 P.M. and questioned by him Bond, and Bill Lee about the mormons and any beleaf and what I intended to do.

May 16th 1889. Heber Bennion. wife and child Heber Taylorsville, Salt Lake Co., Utah.

August 5, 1889 A rainey summer so far (a news clipping on this page I will copy since it gives flavor to the time and place) The remarkable year in which we are living is likely to be further signalized by an early opening of winter. Snow fell in Michigan on Tuesday, and in Iowas heavy frosts extended over a great stretch of country. Crops were badly injured in many places. When the record of the year comes to be made up, it promoses to be remarkable. Great disasters on land and sea, extraordinary convulsions of nature, thousands of lives violently taken, will make the year 1889 one to be long remembered, and in the years to come the "oldest inhabitant" to gaping listeners will tell the story of how the great blizzard of March 1888 fell into comparative insignificance when contrasted wit the wonderful events of 1889. The disaster in Japan adds another to the great calamities of the year. The terrible affair in the Conemaugh Valley, the great floods in China, the Seattle fire, the storms along the Atlantic, are the most recent of the year's catastrophes. All that is needed to complete the list of the year's mishaps is an earthquake.

Adaronia Hamar Woolley and wife came to our home for a visit Thursday Aug 15 to Saturday 17, 1889 two nights and one day. We had a pleasant time. I took them to the Park Capitol and the Pressroom.

FOR THE HOMESTEADERS

Labor Unions Here Will Give a Ball to Raise Funds

Representatives of the various trade and labor unions of Salt Lake City met in the Federated Trades Hall last night and held an important preliminary meeting to take steps towards raising a fund for the Homestead sufferers.

Mr. John G. Smith was elected permanent chairman of the committee on entertainment and Mr. C.S. Hermance permanent secretary.

When the question of the form of enterment was brought up, some were in favor of giving a dramatic and musical entertainment at the Theater, another spoke favorably of a masquerade ball and fair, but the popular vote was for a plain ball.

A committee of three was appointed to look up the Theater management and local talent to get their aid, the men forming the committee being Messrs. Brodie, Doxie and Hermance.

A committee of two, Messrs. J. S. Morris and A. E. Jarman, was appointed to look after preliminary arrangements for the ball.

The meeting adjourned until next Tuesday at 8 p.m. at the Federated Trades Hall.

The committee request that each and every trade and labor union in the city appoint a representative to be at the meeting, and that all charitably-disposed persons will render aid to the worthy cause. The idea is to make up a goodly sum to sent to Homestead from the many Salt Lake City trade and labor unions.
