March 1st 1859 This is my birth day I am 52 years [FIGURE] old this day I was born on the 1st day of March 1807 thus I have lived over half a centaury I pray the Lord to preserve me through through the present year & in all time to come and enable me to be useful during the rem- ainder of my days and fill me with wisdom & understa- nding and preserve me from all presumptious sins and unwrighteousness, that I may stand approved in the sight of God & my Brethren which I ask in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
