Entry 825
I rented a farm about sixty years ago [1876] and this woman didn't like it for me to be there. I came in one night and I saw a pile of dirt just like a grave and flowers stuck all around it. The next morning when I came out I looked at it. The woman asked me what was that. I said to her, "I guess you know more about it than anybody else." Then I took my foot and leveled that to the ground. I said, "Now I suppose you expect to see me hopping like a horse with a broken leg." It didn't have no effect on me. They did that to get me off the farm.
