Had meeting in Worcester. B.C. Wismer read. I made the Introductory and Bro. Yoder from Elkhart Ind. spoke from Matt.18 ch. and 1 to 7.
Went to Henry Heebner's for dinner and then to Motzes.
Essays on a life in agriculture. Also posted here are the diary entries of Warren G. Bean, my great grandfather. Warren G. Bean lived from 1866 till 1949. He was a farmer and a Mennonite bishop for the Franconia Conference of the Mennonite church in Montgomery County Pennsylvania. My hope is that others might take some inspiration. Warren started farming on his own in the late 19th century; I started in the late 20th.

1898 account book
I thought the following was interesting. It is an account of not only what he sowed but the variety.
