From Family Search: Robert was primarily a farmer, yet a great deal of his time was spent hauling coal largely for a factory. Robert also owned considerable livestock. During the summer he drove the unneeded horses and cattle to summer pasture in the mountains and would return them in the fall to the valley. In November 1872, he wrote (in his diary), "I sold my yellow mare to John Wood for $125. Also, I took a load of potatoes to town and sold my young mare for $70." |
