Time rolled on and my little friend took sick. She lay in her little bed two weeks, then bade us all good-bye and passed over the dark river. That was a sad blow to me, for I had lost the best friend of my childhood.In the fall of 1850, father rented his farm, intending to visit my brothers, who lived in Platte County, Mis souri.
