http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259634

This diary, kept in _Pocket Diary, 1863_. (Boston: Chase & Nichols, [1862]), contains brief daily entries that record a year in the life of a nineteenth century farmer. Powers notes work done on his farm by him and others, as well as work he performed for others. There are mentions of illness, including a bout of diptheria that swept through his household and caused the death of (his son?) George. There are also mentions of church meetings and singing. Towards the back of the volume there are records of cash accounts for each month.
