The Journal was copied by Ria Baker and Daris Mullinax.

A Note from Ria:  You may not understand the name listed and dates.  Mr Johnson breed cattle and all the entries with names only had the persons name the cows name and the date they came to pick it up. Something like. Carrie whoever brought a heifer date put with bull.   There was no reason or enough time to copy it all so we just put down the persons name and any other information that would help locate a relative at the date stated. So if there is only a date and name that's why.

A full and final settlement with Moses McMillen for one hundred dollars, of every thing of every kind and posession of the land and every part thereof is given now to see and the grawing crop for 1898.  Said final settlement is of every matter in dispute between us for the consideration of the said one hundred dollars as stated above.  This May 21, 1898.
