December 15, 1759

1759 December 15 (Saturday).  Sorrowful News of the Death of Mr. Thomas Ball of Brookfield, at Waltham, by the Wheel of his Cart running over him.  May God prepare me for sudden Death!  Besides the Account given by Mr. Gale who din’d with us, my Son Baldwin (who returned from Boston, and came nigh sunsetting) confirmed it; and Said he saw the Corps.

Why Do the Days Listed in the Diary Entries before Sept. 15, 1752 Not Correspond to the Days on the Calendar?

In 1752, Great Britain and the American colonies switched from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, which we use today in a slightly updated form.
