[Hosea Stout Diary] Tuesday Decr the 1st 1846. Warm hard south wind all day[.] I was around home until time to arrainge the guard after which I was called to a council at H. S. Eldridges at 6 oclock. This council was specially called to act on the case of Br Beers & his wife as before mentioned on the 15th of Nov. last[.] Nothing very particular was done. She & the children were to keep the property or as much as came by way of his wife which was 4.50 [$4.50] dollars but he was to be allowed the use of his tools to go to work here. They of course parted but were forbidden to marry again to any one else by president Young[.] They both agreed to abide the council.
A committee of three consisting of Daniel Spencer Daniel Carn and myself were then appointed to value the property and all over 450 dollars was to be left to him and thus it is. No more tonight
