Ledger Post # 8
Surnames
Top of Page 3, 10 April, 1830

I am going to start from the beginning of the ledger and list surnames as they appear on the pages, I won't keep repeating the same surnames over and over in the typed out names below; some of the names show up two or  three times on the same page, if there is something I feel is significant connected with a name I will list it again; I won't be able to scan full pages at all, it's too time consuming, the scan in this post is only about 1/4 of the full page. I'm going to include at least one scan from each page with each post. I am also starting to use dollar "$" and cents "." keys in my posts, they didn't use these in the ledger book, there are two columns at the far right of each page which I haven't included in most of the scans, if I tried to include the full width of the page in the scan the scan picture would be too small to be correctly viewed 

Surnames on about half of Page 3
Paid Martin Felty $50.00
Paid John Bohr $5.21
To Benj Bonewitz for 19 Bus potatoes c .30  $5.70
To Paul Barr for 1 Bbl No 2 Mackerel  $7.25
To Henry Bohr for 5 lbs  butter c .11 .55
George Reed, pd him $10.76

I don't know whose spelling is worse, mine or their's. Miss Greenawalt, my English Teacher at the Pine grove High School would not be happy with either of us.
