Note from submitter: The last digit of the years for the births in the right column are written into the ornamental border of the page and are difficult to discern. The last digit of the year for John Brewer's birth is written above the "3" in 1838. The year for Asa's birth is missing but is known to be 1759 from information in his Revolutionary War pension file.

Births
Edith Eva Bailey born July 28th 1894 Saturday 9..15 A. M.
Note from submitter: This latter list of births is in a column
originally for deaths; the word "Death" has been crossed out
and "Births" written in. Both "Births" and the third entry are in pencil.
It is not clear whether the third entry is a correction of the
first one or a separate individual who happened to be born on
the same month and day five years later.
