1843, May 22 - "Just as I stepped into the boat I looked around and happened to notice someone in the upper floor of the storehouse. I realized that it was my sister, but when she saw me looking up she stepped farther back so as not to be seen. Because of my own sad thoughts I could well understand what feelings must have been in her heart. But still I had a faint hope that I should meet her and be with her once again." Bache, Chronicle of Old Muskego, p. 75.
