On June 1, 1898, having finished the house Ida and Edith arrived
and we were married at once and commenced housekeeping in earnest.
We enjoyed our home and life in Arkansas very much. I finally
bought 40 acres more land, set most of it out in fruit and berries.
Our one cow had increased to quite a herd, so that we were feeling
quite prosperous. In the meantime Mother Pugh had come out and
bought Mr. Wilkinson's place joining ours. In time she sold out to
Mr. Eicher and they moved back to Des Moines, which seemed to be
the rule for all that came from the North. Frederick W. Sims,
spelling and punctuation only have been changed. The original copy
owned by Everett E. Sims, son of Frederick W. Sims. Sidney G. Sims.
The journal was transcribed from Fredrick W. Sims' hand written
notes; my grandfather, Everett E. Sims, did this. The original had
written journal is not to be found. When I read the neatly typed
onion skinned pages, I was in awe. I had no idea the journal
existed, or that my great grandfather was anything other than the
average nineteenth century citizen that you never hear of. At this
point I felt compelled to do something with these stories. I have
no idea if there are any revelations exposed here. I really don't
care about that. I knew that there had to be a place for this
journal to be viewed. I chose the publishing industry for this
purpose. 1st Books was a big help in my decision. I hope you enjoy
this book. I'm proud of my great grandfathers service to his
country, as I am of my fathers World War 2 service and my own
military service. Sidney E. Sims, a proud great grandson.
