Tuesday 16 Lora and children here all day.  Lora and Amos have not moved to Illinois yet, many recordings of their visits.

Sunday 21 Lora took ether and chloroform and had her upper teeth pulled.

Aunt Lib's Diary

 Page 3

Monday 1 This book my New Year's present.  Went down to Plattsburgh and had a tooth extracted by Howard.  Flora (sister) and Amanda (sister) went to Mrs. Lobdell's (Amos Arnold's, mother was Lovicy Lobdell) in the eve and Uncle Darius (Lobdell.  Lovicy (Lobdell) Arnold's father is Darius Lobdell and she has a brother, Darius.) and Huldah (don't know who Huldah is) came and went for them.  Weather mild and no sleighing. 

J Lobdell, D Johnson, and St Arnold all living in close proximity.  Middle of the map by the little house. All neighbors that marry.  Stuckley Arnold married Lovicy Lobdell and Lora Johnson (daughter of David Johnson) married Amos Arnold (son of Stuckley Arnold.) 

And near the top left corner is U Ayes (probably Ayer) the father of Seba (Ayer) Johnson.  Joseph Arnold just above D Johnson to the right, but another Arnold just above D Johnson, looks it might say St Arnold also.

Mary Elizabeth Johnson (Aunt Lib) is the daughter of David Johnson and Seba (Ayer) Johnson.  She is a sister to my great, great grandmother, Lora (Johnson) Arnold. Lora Johnson (Arnold) had already married Amos Arnold and moved to Lyman Township, Ford County, Illinois at the time of Aunt Lib's writings.  

My line.  Me (Janice) > Glen Arnold > Ernest Arnold > Johnson Arnold > Lora (Johnson) Arnold > David Johnson and Seba Ayer.
