LeRoy

"Fourth day 23rd [Wednesday,
October 23, 1867] Just a week since we left Curtis. The cars roared & steamed nearly all time of night, so we could scarcely sleep. There, the sun is up & they are hitching up to go. Nearly noon in Leroy. Came 14 miles today. Excellent roads since the rain laid the dust. Came on about a mile from town & fed at a branch where several movers were going west. Afternoon came ten miles
& camped early on the east side of the North fork of Salt river, a nice place to carry water to cook with from town. Our Owen County travelers still with us. Jane quite unwell tonight."

Following U.S. 150, we came to Le Roy. This road seems to be the wagon trail that Ann & Henry traveled from Bloomington to the Illinois/Indiana border. We arrived in town just as a parade was ending. There were flags, families, and festivities throughout LeRoy, a charming little place.
