A very cold morning. Mrs. Burgess and Maggie went to Marietta on the morning train. Lucy came down this evening to stay till Monday. Brother Daniel who resides in Kansas arrived here this evening.
Peggy's comments:
Brother Daniel Converse Cutler was Julia's half brother. He was the youngest child of Ephraim Cutler and Leah Atwood. After Leah Atwood Cutler died, Ephraim married Sally Parker who had 5 children: Sarah, Manasseh, William, Julia, and Clara. Sarah is the mother of Rufus and Ephraim Dawes who are fighting for the Union, and Kate Dawes who lives with the Cutlers, and Lucy Dawes who taught school in Marietta. Manasseh died in childhood. William and Julia continued to live in the Old Stone House where they were born. Clara married and moved to Pana, Illinois.
