They seemed to have been very close and spent a lot of time together. Here are some lines mentioned from his diary about Carrie. Mattoon, North Carolina Age: 11 years old Laurinburg, N.C. October 21, 1888 Dear Uncle: I take pleasure in writing you a few lines to let you know that we are well. I am going to school now at home and cousin Carrie Monroe is teaching. March 9th, 1888 Hunter Mcarn and Dan McDougle came over to play croquet this evening with Cousin Carrie. Mr. Daniel McDougle and Cousin Carrie played against Mr. McArn and Lizzie. Cousin Carrie and her partner came out victorious as usual for every time Cousin Carrie plays, she come out victorious. The second game Cousin Carrie played with Mr. McArn. (Part of diary missing here) On very well on both sides at the first play but Mr. Dan didnt get through the centre wicket at the second play and every time he got in position, Mr. McArn would knock him out. They kept Mr. McDougle dead for nearly half an hour. I never was tickled so much as I was that evening. Every time Mr. Dan would go to strike a ball, Mr. McArn would say, Dan, you cant do that, you are dead, and Mr. Dan would say yes, that is a fact, I cant do anything but go in position and every time he would get in position Mr. McArn would go and put him out. Mr. McArn made a mislick after awhile and Mr. Dan got through his wicket. Cousin Carrie and her partner came out victorious again and just as soon as Mr. McArn got out he put his hat on the end of his mallet and crowed, and he says, Dan, why dont you laugh? Mr. McDougle said, I dont see anything to laugh at. March 10, 1888 Pa came home this morning from Raleigh and we were certainly glad to see him as he came home to stay. We went to Sunday school this morning and recited our lessons well. Lizzie, Birdie, and myself walked while Cousin Carrie and Mr. Dan McGirt rode. Cousin Carrie said that while she and Mr. McGirt were riding along, Mr. McGirt said, Miss Monroe, why didnt you go to the party at our house the other night? Cousin Carrie said she told him because her Uncle did not approve of young folks running around at night. (The Uncle she spoke of was my father). Mr. McGirt said, Oh, is that all, I thought it was because I asked you to go with me. Cousin Carrie said the next time he says anything about her going with him she is going to say, havent I got a right to go with anybody I choose to? Cousin Liz and myself went to preaching at Centre Church this evening and we got there about three oclock and left about twenty minutes past five. Our staying so long was owing to Dr. Hills long sermon. He preached about or over an hour. As we were going along to church there were three buggies ahead of us, and just as we got within a mile of the church, we had to cross a bridge across a large ditch. Upon the side of the road was a sign saying: This bridge is dangerous. Mr. McGirt got down and examined it and said we could cross it on one side so we all got across safe and sound. Mr. McGirt rode in the front, his name was John McGirt. March 11, 1888 This morning I got up at 10 minutes to five oclock. I made a fire in our room and in Cousin Carries room and one in the dining room. Then I went out and fed up everything and came back and got my bucket and milked a cow. We then ate breakfast and after dining, I milked another cow and after I got through with everything else, I went to school. The schoolhouse is in our yard and I got in school at eight oclock. I and all of us recited our verses. (We always got a verse from the Bible and recited them just after we got school.) We then said our Geography and next came my grammar, arithmetic, science, and spelling. We then wrote and had Calisthenics. We then turned out at 12 oclock. My schoolteachers name is Carrie Monroe. She came from Goldsboro and lived with her brother, Mr. Willie Monroe. He is a lawyer. I like her very much. I plowed part of the evening and helped to haul water on the compost pile. The way we put it on was to take a stick and drive it down and pull it up again and then we poured the water in these holes. I went to bed early that night. March 12, 1888 I got up at five oclock this morning, attended to my usual duties. Pa and Ma went to Maxton this morning, and Pa told me to raise the storeroom. I said I wouldnt raise it very high. After they left, we had school in Mas room and I thought Id cut up a little, so when it was time for me to get my grammar, I got my arithmetic and I couldnt get my grammar, it was too long. I worried Cousin Carrie and worried her and I ought to have been ashamed of myself. After dinner I rode my colt some and then I turned him in the rye. I cleaned out the store as I was told, and then I went down in the field to see if I could get to kill a dove with my gun. I killed a hawk with two shots and shot at a dove but missed him. By the time I got to the house Pa and Ma had come and Mr. Dan McGirt had called to see him and when I got there he was playing croquet with Cousin Carrie and Lizzie. Pa got two pair of andirons and brought lots of flower roots from Grandmas. Uncle Lawrence was better. We put the flower roots in the pit.
