[Hosea Stout Diary] Thursday Augt 5th 1847. Sent out 5 men on guard & staid at home.
Louisa, now my only child, who had been sick for a long time died today which seemed to complete the dark curtain which has been drawn over me since I left Nauvoo. My family then consisted of 8 members & now but two. Five of whom has died & now I am left childless but I shall not dwell on this painful subject.
