There is a 14 year period during which he did not write in the journal, but he gave no explanation. In 1884 he was in Kansas and resumed writing in the journal, never missing a day until he filled the journal in 1871. He had arrived in Kansas in 1878, and after selling his drug store he joined a milling partnership in the same Illinois town. Within all of this information, there is no mention of his having seen his Mother. His twin brother came to Kansas once and stayed two nights. He wrote in his journal every day, and although he mentioned letters with his family, there is no mention of his ever leaving his claim for more than an overnight marketing trip or trip to town. I don't believe he ever saw his Mother, at least not after coming to Kansas.Lynda Beck Fenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363248580928472769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231257453868183589.post-15795397702436399082019-05-09T22:33:01.872-05:002019-05-09T22:33:01.872-05:00She certainly lived in interesting times.
