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.

I got ready this morning to go to Uncle Stewart's and then went down to Mrs. Cornelius'. Papa wetn to Downy's and got the horse and buggy and he, Aunt Sady, Mama, Robert and I went out to Uncle Stewart's. Aunt Sady and Robert took the horse back. This evening we (Uncle S, Aunt L, Ma, Pa & I) went to Belle Isle and got a boat and rowed out on the water. We went quite a ways. The band stand is out on the water and the band played while we rode. There is a picnic grounds on one of the islands out in the water. Then we went back and had some ice cream at the house there and then we went around and watched the young people bathe and then we went home.
