St. Joseph County By Judge William H. Cross
In the autumn of 1827, my brother and myself were taken down with the fever and ague, and on writing back to our mother that were ill, she determined to come and see her sick boys; and in Novem ber of that year she came and kept house for us—we having kept bachelor's hall till then; but when the winter was over it was the wish of our mother to go to Tecumseh on the Sabbaths to attend meeting, once in six, then four, and ere long, two weeks we had preaching, and I being the youngest must provide a way to go. So, on Sunday morning, I must start out and find the oxen and yoke them to the large lumber wagon; then get mother into the wagon, and start for the school house, which was also the meeting house, and by the time we reached Brownville we would have a wagon load of women and children, and the men were walking alongside.
