Diary entries:
"Called on Miss Martha Slocum, familiarly called "aunt Patty". She was 86, the 12 of this month, she informs me that her mother lived to be a month or two over 99 years old and her mother's father lived to be also in his 100th year, and poor aunt Patty is worrying for fear she shall live to be as old, it is evident by her talk that she is burdensome to those who care for her. God sustain Miss Slocum in all her lonely hours of trial and suspense, God help her. 3 years now since she's been blind. Oh help aunt Patty"- Hat

"1881 - So Miss Martha Slocum, sister to Eliza and Archibald is dead, and I thank God that I believe she sleeps in Jesus"- Hat
