feared the children, with whooping-cough, would take cold, and she kept them in bed, doubtful whether the water would not reach them even there. But the creek fell almost as rapidly as it rose, partly in consequence of the break in the dam. She engaged men to repair the dam, and had the mills in operation before Mr. Winter returned. He had an attack of the "soldiers' fever" while absent. He had four hundred men under his command. She speaks of his being elected constable in 1818.
