1862 October 29 Chapel Hill, N.C.

[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]

Wednesday 29th  I have been first sewing & then knitting steadily all day--
Mrs. Walters & Sarah called in to ask me to walk but I declined--We have
learnt that the cause of no mail yesterday was owing to a collision on the
Weldon road 15 miles from Raleigh one train ran into another & killed
4 persons & wounded 13--One lady who had been to Richmond for her
husband's body & was returning with the Corpse was killed--A great
revival is going on in the Methodist church--
