Pioneer Diary 2

Days have passed I have seen troubles and tragedy crossing the river.
We have just crossed the river and days have been and long and peoples faith have been lost. I too was almost hit by these tragedy. My Ox has almost died by eating the loco weed. He went crazy and got very sick. Fortunately the ox was okay but the trails did not become easier. The days of the trek are tiring and are becoming longer as more days past. The river has devastated our trip and ,made it longer. The wagon train is still has great faith but I am afraid that this will change. Especially today the wagon master's son John has passed. He fought his sickness but his cold was too great. I am no longer suspicious of the wagon master i pity him. The train is mourning his death and we stayed for a day to fix a proper burial for him. I hope we can still make it to California after this tragic death.
