The remaining diary entries (from May 21, 1883 onwards) are written daily and indicate that Shoults has returned full-time to working with the church. Initially Shoults and his family live with Bro. George in Markham and Shoults appears to be working for Bro. George engaged in farm activities. On Oct. 15, 1883 (see diary entry) Shoults and his family move into their own house in Orono.
