[Hosea Stout Diary] Monday May 22nd 1848.
Rained hard last night. Dark morning. We started about ten. The roads being lined with teams as far as we could see.
We traveled on untill about 4 oclock when it commenced to rain & we turned out awhile two miles this side of the papea. The rain ceasing we went on to the papea where we found a large company assembled.
The Bridge was finished this evening and several of us crossed on it the first who went over But in consequence of the hard rains the crossing was extremely bad. This Bridge is about one mile above the old one We had another hard rain tonight.
