1775 September 20 (Wednesday). Visit Mr. Joseph Green, Sick of the Distemper, and prayed with him and the Family. While I was there a Messenger came for me to hasten to Mr. Elijah Hardys, they feared their son Ephraim Brigham was dying — went, and not only Ephraim but two other Children besides were very ill. I conversed with Ephraim and prayed with the Family.
