These are transcriptions of my grandmother's journals and writings from different points in her life from her girlhood diaries in Kansas in the early 1900's to her later years.
Thursday, March 3, 1910
We had sewing today. Arla Bayer took Ethel & my pictures. I went to Ethel's after school. we had a test on the Civil War this afternoon. I sent a letter to Georgia F. today. Zella played basket ball to-night.
Weather -- clear & warm
Remember that the Civil War was recent history at this point! Winnie's grandfather, Thomas Whittemore Mitchell, called Grandpa M in these diaries, served in the Civil War.
