Monday, August 20, 1900

20th, put up hay. Frank & I raked. I quit at 4:00 & gathered a load of corn on the new ground of Wes Duncans.

The Duncan family is one of the Bench farm’s tenants who Jesse mentions on June 29th when listing the families living on their property.  Wes Duncan, along with Anna, Elvy, and Bessie, are missing from the 1900 federal census.  If anyone sees them, please send us a note!
